Home Equity Assurance

Insure your home against value loss caused by local factors. Free for members after a five-year holding period.

Overview

The flagship program of NWHEAP. Once enrolled, your home is appraised at a baseline value. If, after a five-year holding period, you sell at a loss caused by qualifying local factors, NWHEAP pays the difference up to the baseline.

What's included

  • Baseline appraisal at enrollment, paid for by NWHEAP
  • Coverage activates after a five-year holding period
  • No annual premium — funded by member assessments
  • Protects against losses from qualifying local-market factors

Eligibility

Open to owner-occupants of 1–6 unit residential properties within the NWHEAP service area. Property must be the owner's primary residence.
