If you've recently lost your house, you may be wondering if you should rebuild after a natural disaster. There are many variables to consider here, and the answer will be different for everyone. Some things to consider include the cost of rebuilding and the viability of a future home in the same area. Knowing how much your homeowners insurance will cover and the overall cost of rebuilding is a key part of this decision. Often, it may be more affordable to rebuild rather than buy a different home, but you’ll also want to consider the risk of future natural disasters occurring in the region where your home is located. Making a list of the pros and cons of your options and speaking with licensed building, insurance and real estate professionals may help you come to an informed decision.
