Insurance is necessary to protect you from risk.  Risk is, according to Investopedia.com, “the possibility of losing some or all the original investment.”  In the case of insurance the investment maybe an automobile, home, building, and even life.  The investment is then given a value by the insurer or the item being insured.

For the investment value of a home, the insurer or insurance company utilizes information from the assessor’s calculation of the replacement cost of the home.  The replacement cost of the home is calculated by multiplying a pre-determined value to the assessed value.  This equated value or replacement cost value is the investment value of the home.   For example, the assessed value of Home A is $56,400.  The replacement cost value or investment value is $85,810.   The multiplier is 1.52.  Still yet, it may be another value for another home.  It is, of course, based on when the home was built and if any updates have been done since it was built, the material the home is built of, and the cost of materials and labor to replace the home.
