Great question! In our agreement, we set the initial sales price for the customer. However, for every 30 days it does not sell on the open market, they can lower the price by up to 5% until it sells. So, if it ultimately sells for a loss as a result, we would still provide the loss protection.
In the event that a customer wants to buy us out after 3 years. The rate used to calculate change in on paper value is derived from the median home price rate of change from that neighborhood. The value comes from the MLS and it's a rate that neither we as a company nor our customer can artificially manipulate. So, we think it's the best representation of the market change.
If the overall house market is falling, our hedging instruments will provide us enough revenue to offset our customer's losses. If it's not a market wide recession, the gains from some contracts should very easily offset some of the losses along with our own capital we use to guarantee the loss.
These methods combined should allow us to guarantee the losses in all different market scenarios.
