Your homeowners insurance in the United States must by law cover the value of the home being insured with no more than a 20% deviation. This may be more or less than the amount of your loan.

Be carefull and read the terms of the policy. Most all homeowners policies have penalties if you do not insure it for a certain percentage of either actual cash value or replacement cost depending on the policy.
