It seems an increasing number of carriers have resorted to hyper-inflating their residential Replacement Cost calculations as a means of generating increased premium revenue, and policyholders are outraged! Is this problem unique to Illinois or are agents in other states having similar experiences? When 3-4 bedroom tract homes that sold for $250,000 before the collapse of real estate prices generate RC estimates well in excess of $700,000 - more than double their current market value - there's a credibility problem!

Probably not, but it's time to re-examine the accuracy of widely used replacement cost algorithms.
