At first my agent said I could do what you did, but when I pressed to be sure, they checked with the underwriters and said I should get the appraisal. They gave me the name of a local appraiser they use. It was $100 and the appraisal was faxes directly to the agent. One advantage was the appraiser stated a value a little over what I had estimated. :) It sounds like you're OK. I guess neither of us will know we did enough unless we have to file a claim.
