Borrowings under the facility with Western Alliance Bank ("Western Alliance") mature on June 15, 2020 and generally bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% or (ii) 3.50%. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 3.52% and 3.79%, respectively. The agreement governing the facility requires Redfin Mortgage to maintain certain financial covenants. Additionally, Redfin Corporation has agreed to make capital contributions in an amount necessary for Redfin Mortgage to satisfy its adjusted tangible net worth financial covenant under the agreement. Redfin Mortgage is in default of this facility because it failed to satisfy a financial covenant as of March 31, 2020, but Western Alliance has not enforced its remedy under the agreement of requiring Redfin Mortgage to repurchase all outstanding loans held by the lender.

Borrowings under the facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. ("Texas Capital") mature on May 6, 2020 and generally bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the rate of interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the loan minus 0.50% or (ii) 3.50%. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 3.50% and 3.51%, respectively. The agreement governing the facility requires Redfin Mortgage to maintain certain financial covenants. Additionally, Redfin Corporation has guaranteed Redfin Mortgage’s obligations under the agreement. Redfin Mortgage is in default of this facility because it failed to satisfy a financial covenant as of March 31, 2020, but Texas Capital has not enforced its remedies under the agreement of (i) requiring Redfin Mortgage to repurchase Texas Capital's interest in all outstanding loans subject to the agreement or (ii) selling all outstanding loans subject to the agreement.

Borrowings under the facility with Flagstar Bank, FSB ("Flagstar") generally bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% or (ii) 3.00%.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility—To provide capital for the homes that it purchases, RedfinNow has, through a special purpose entity called RedfinNow Borrower, entered into a secured revolving credit facility with Goldman Sachs. Borrowings under the facility are secured by RedfinNow Borrower's assets, including the financed homes, as well as the equity interests in RedfinNow Borrower. The following table summarizes borrowings under this facility as of the periods presented:

The facility matures on January 26, 2021, but we may extend the maturity date for an additional six months to repay outstanding borrowings. Goldman Sachs may, at its sole option, finance a portion of RedfinNow Borrower's acquisition costs of qualified homes that have been purchased. The portion financed is based, in part, on how long the qualifying home has been owned by a Redfin entity. Borrowings under the facility prior to March 24, 2020 generally bore interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) plus 2.65%. For borrowings under the facility on and after March 24, 2020, each new borrowing generally bears interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) plus an additional rate agreed upon between RedfinNow Borrower and Goldman Sachs. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 3.77% and 4.45%, respectively.

RedfinNow Borrower must repay all borrowings and accrued interest upon the termination of the facility, and it has the option to repay the borrowings, and the related interest, with respect to a specific financed home upon the sale of such home. In certain situations involving a financed home remaining unsold after a certain time period or becoming ineligible for financing under the facility, RedfinNow Borrower may be obligated to repay all or a portion of the borrowings, and related interest, with respect to such home prior to the sale of such home. In instances involving "bad acts," Redfin Corporation has guaranteed repayment of amounts owed under the facility, in some situations, and indemnification of certain expenses incurred, in other situations.

As of March 31, 2020, RedfinNow Borrower had $53,445 of total assets, of which $44,455 related to inventory and $5,648 in cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019, RedfinNow Borrower had $16,200 of total assets, of which $7,456 related to inventory and $5,663 in cash and equivalents.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we amortized $154 of the debt issuance costs and recognized $80 of interest expense.

Convertible Senior NotesOn July 23, 2018, we issued $143,750 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Redfin Corporation, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The effective interest rate of the liability portion of the debt is 7.25%. The notes mature on July 15, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. As of March 31, 2020, no conversion events have occurred. We will settle conversions of the notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. We have the ability, and intend, to settle any conversions solely in cash.
