    Homeowners insurance is not a one size fits all policy. The cost of home insurance is determined based on your claim history, type of house, age, condition and in some states credit. In Virgina, your credit score is a big factor when determining rate. Your agent also has to complete a Replacement cost calculation (the cost to rebuild your home). The Replacement cost is not the purchase price or assessment value but rather how much it would cost the insurance company to rebuild your home. This amount can be more than the purchase price in some area especially with older homes. There are several variables to considered so it's always best to sit down with an independent agent to review your options.
