Homeowners insurance is a type of property insurance that covers your home and belongings from damage or loss. It can also provide liability coverage in case someone is injured on your property.

Homeowners insurance typically covers the following:

Dwelling coverage: This covers the structure of your home, including the walls, roof, and foundation.
Personal property coverage: This covers your belongings, such as furniture, appliances, and clothing.
Additional living expenses: This coverage helps you pay for temporary living expenses if your home is damaged or destroyed and you cannot live in it.
Loss of use coverage: This coverage reimburses you for the loss of income if you are unable to work due to a covered loss.

The amount of homeowners insurance you need will depend on the value of your home and belongings. You should also consider your individual needs and risk factors.
