The Homeowners Package
Policy: a homeowner's policy combines property, liability, and
crime coverage in a single policy form. It is divided into two basic sections:
Section I - Property Coverages and Section II Liability Coverages.*

Market Value is usually
the amount that you can sell your home for on the open market. This amount
may include the value of the land and the location. Replacement
Cost is the amount it would cost to rebuild your home if it were
destroyed (for a reference on this you can check your current homeowners policy).
