Homeward Secures New Funding
Homeward, a startup focused on facilitating home transactions, has raised $120 million in a Series D funding round. Saluda Grade led this round, with participation from Continental General Insurance Co., Citi Ventures, Magnetar Capital, Norwest, and LiveOak Ventures. The company has now accumulated $360 million in equity funding since its inception in 2018.
Additional Debt Facility for Transactions
In addition to the equity funding, Homeward also secured a $330 million asset-backed debt facility. This debt is specifically allocated to fund more home transactions. The equity capital will be used to expand Homeward's financing products and invest in its technology platform.
Proptech Investment Landscape
Homeward's funding occurs during an increase in proptech startup investment. In 2026, global real estate-related startups have attracted approximately $12.7 billion in seed- through growth-stage investment, surpassing last year's total of $12.3 billion. However, current investment levels remain below the peak years, such as 2019, which saw $24 billion in funding.
How Homeward Operates
Homeward works with real estate agents to assist homeowners in accessing their home equity and managing the timing of buying and selling properties. Its 'Buy Before You Sell' program provides short-term financing for homeowners to purchase a new house before selling their current one, including a guaranteed backup offer for the existing property.
The 'Sell Before You List' program offers a cash purchase and a quick closing for homeowners seeking a faster sale. Homeward then prepares and resells the property, returning the profit to the original homeowner after deducting a program fee.
