How could the original owner redeem the land?

Leviticus 25:27 (ESV)

27 let him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.

If, after selling the land, the financial circumstances of the owner improved, he had the right to pay the purchaser the value of the rest of the lease.
