Is the replacement cost the same value as the sale price?

No. If something in your house, or the house itself, needs to be replaced then you will receive the current market value. In the case of your house itself this means the sum could be considerably higher than what you paid. For certain items in your house, particularly computers, the sum you receive to replace it could be drastically lower.
