Why Homebuyers Use Home Value Lock

Protection for the moments when life - and the market - don’t go as planned.

Home Value Lock protects you if the market moves downward between your purchase and sale date.

A downturn early in homeownership can be costly. Home Value Lock absorbs some of that risk.

If a job change, family need, or relocation forces a sale, Home Value Lock helps soften the impact.

Ideal for buyers who want added security in uncertain or fast-moving markets.

What You Need To Know

Yes. Home Value Lock is a one-time insurance policy purchased at closing that protects you if the market declines in your first three years of ownership.

We use the StreetMatrix index — an independent, third-party benchmark that measures how market values have changed since your purchase.

Home Value Lock is available for anyone purchasing an eligible primary residence in participating states. It can be purchased by the buyer, or a seller can provide it as an added benefit to strengthen their listing. Real estate agents may also offer Home Value Lock as a way to make their clients’ homes more competitive in uncertain markets.

If you need to sell within three years and the market has declined, HVL offers reimbursement up to 10% of your insured value, up to $150,000.
