Yes, it's necessary to know the value of your home as well as the replacement cost. Have you taken an inventory valuation? I guess that's also necessary while considering a home insurance policy. It's natural for an insurer to conduct a physical inspection and ascertain the worth of your home. Only then they'd issue a new policy.

I am assuming you want to insure it for less than the value. If that is the case, you could run into issues if a claim were to arise.

Are you looking to get replacement cost or actual cash value?

If you underinsure a home on a replacement cost policy, you risk paying for replacement cost coverage, but only receiving an actual cash value settlement.

If you under insure your home on an actual cash value policy, you risk getting penalized if you have a claim

You are better off just insuring the home for its value.

Ask you agent about the co-insurance clause, that should help you determine what value you want to insure your home at.
