HOMEWARD RAISES $371MM IN SERIES B ROUND (CONT’D)
Homeward Home Buying Process
Select Deal Commentary
Homeward is an agent-led company: While most alternatives to traditional
real estate minimize or replace the agent, Homeward teams up with agents.
Homeward approves applicants for a specific
amount. After being approved, buyers are ready
to make a cash offer.
Get approved
Homeward works with the buyer’s real estate agent to make a cash offer on a new
home. Cash offers are three times more likely to
beat financed offers.
Make a cash
offer
Once the buyer’s mortgage is ready, the buyer will
close on the new home by buying it back from
Homeward.
Buy back new
home
Homeward then closes on the home once the title is
ready. The buyer can move in the next day and rent
from Homeward.
Move into new
home
After the seller accepts, Homeward finalizes the
purchase. The buyer then completes the EMD,
inspection and signs the mortgage disclosure
statements.
Win the home1 2 3 4 5
The pandemic has greatly
increased demand for our product.
It’s a historic seller’s market with
unprecedented demand from
buyers and the lowest inventory
levels in decades. Right now, we
have a waiting list in every market
across the country, so this growth
capital will enable us to meet that
demand.
Homeward is innovating at the
intersection of real estate and
fintech — that’s the next frontier.
Homeward’s cash offer addresses
real problems for homebuyers in all
market conditions and the team has
identified a winning strategy by
partnering with agents and their
clients.

Select Transaction Commentary
COSTAR (NASDAQ: CSGP) ACQUIRES HOMES.COM (CONT’D)
Source: Company websites, press releases and LinkedIn.
Strategic Rationale Homes.com Highlights
We are excited to welcome the Homes.com team to the CoStar
family. We believe that the acquisition of Homes.com is highly
complementary alongside Homesnap, the industry-leading
workflow and marketing platform for residential real estate agents
that we acquired in December last year. The combination of
Homes.com’s online portal and consumer traffic with Homesnap’s
powerful mobile tools and highly effective agent marketing
solutions has the potential to create a differentiated service that
uniquely focuses on selling a house faster and at a better price,
rather than just trying to take agent fees.”
CoStar conducts expansive, ongoing
research to produce and maintain a
comprehensive database of
commercial real estate information
Homes.com provides home buyers,
sellers, renters and home value
seekers with up-to-date real estate
information, tools and home listings
across the US and Canada
CoStar has a strong hold in the commercial real estate information

SPAC Industry Overview Selected 2021 YTD PropTech-Related SPACs
» SPACs are publicly traded “blank check” companies (i.e., “blind pool” capital) launched to acquire a public-market ready operating business
» SPAC “sponsors” are typically experienced executive teams and / or deal professionals who take a shell company public, then source / diligence a deal with a private operating company, negotiate the transaction and generally provide ongoing expertise / sit on the board (but do not usually act as operators)
» The SPAC market has seen 364 SPAC IPOs, raising $112.4Bn in capital(1)
» Given general momentum in the PropTechmarket and public market investor appetite to invest behind the PropTech market, there have been multiple successful PropTech mergers and active SPACs currently focused on the PropTech space (e.g., Property Solutions Acquisition Corp & Lionheart Acquisition Corp.
