Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock-based compensation awards to certain senior management members, employees and directors. These awards include non-qualified stock options, restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards, and performance share unit ("PSU") awards. Equity Based Awards 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan The Company's stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2023. Under the 2018 Plan, a total of 14 million shares were authorized for issuance and as of December 31, 2024, approximately 1.8 million shares remain available for future grants. Equity Grant Provisions The form of equity award agreements includes a retirement provision for equity grants, allowing for continued vesting of awards once an employee has attained the age of 65 years, or 55 years of age or older plus at least ten years of tenure with the Company, provided the employee has been employed or provided services to the Company for at least one year following the grant date or start of the performance period. Historically, equity awards granted annually generally included a mix of RSU awards, PSU awards and options. However, in 2020 the Company shifted away from granting options, limited equity awards to a small group of executives and granted other key employees cash-based awards. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) RSU awards vest over three years, with 33.33% vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of RSU awards is equal to the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. During 2024, the Company granted RSU awards related to 1.7 million shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $5.87. These include shares granted to certain executives in February 2024 and directors in May 2024. At December 31, 2024, there were 3.1 million shares underlying share-settled RSUs outstanding with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.99. Performance Share Units (PSUs) PSU awards are incentives tied to the Company's financial performance. PSUs granted in 2023 and 2022 were based on two metrics over a three-year performance period which began January 1st of the grant year and ends on December 31st of the third year following the grant year. The first metric was based upon the total stockholder return of Anywhere's common stock relative to the total stockholder return of the S&P MidCap 400 index ("RTSR"), and the second metric was based upon the achievement of cumulative free cash flow goals ("CFCF"). The payout under each PSU award is variable and based upon the extent to which the performance goals are achieved over the performance period (with a range of payout from 0% to 175% of target for the RTSR award and 0% to 200% of target for the CFCF award) and will be distributed during the first quarter after the end of the performance period. The fair value of the CFCF awards was based on the Company's stock price at the grant date and the fair value of the RTSR awards was estimated at the grant date using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. The 2024 PSU awards are tied to three equally weighted, annually established free cash flow goals, averaged over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2026. Final payouts are subject to a potential 15% upward or downward adjustment based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return against its compensation peer group (with double weighting for direct real estate competitors). Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date for each third of the 2024 PSU award will occur as performance targets are established annually. The fair value for each third of the 2024 PSU award is estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method on its respective grant date, with compensation expense recorded over the corresponding performance year and adjusted based on actual performance relative to the established free cash flow target. Of the total 2024 PSU award of 1.3 million units at target, 0.4 million units were granted in February 2024 with a grant date fair value of $6.44, to align with the 2024 established free cash flow target. As of December 31, 2024, there were 2.6 million performance share units outstanding with a weighted average grant date fair value of $8.40. Stock Options Stock options have a maximum term of ten years and vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The fair value of options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At December 31, 2024, there were 1.4 million options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $21.97, all of which are exercisable with an intrinsic value of zero and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.3 years. The Company has not granted options since 2019, and forfeiture and exercise activity was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2024. Equity Based Compensation Expense As of December 31, 2024, based on current performance achievement expectations, there was $17 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to incentive equity awards under the plans which would be recorded in future periods as compensation expense over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years. The Company recorded compensation expense related to the incentive equity awards of $17 million, $12 million and $22 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
