For me, this would take a new options account at a specialist broker, but I'm calculating out the benefits of this "pure play" hedging index, vs the effort.As to the amount/cost of the hedge, I agree that you're mainly trying to avoid a loss if a market bubble hits or you're stuck with an unpurchased/unrented home for some time.
