Reverse Mortgages: Contracting and Crossover Risk

Abstract

A pricing model is developed for a reverse mortgage contract where the borrower receives payments either as a lump sum or in an annuity while the loan balance accumulates as a claim against the house. No underwriting criteria on income are applied. One risk of default is that the borrower will remain in the house after the negatively amortizing loan balance exceeds the value of the house. An explicit pricing model of the reverse mortgage permits the evaluation of this default “crossover” option. Alternative methods involving life insurance contracts and securitization are compared as secondary market channels.
