Negative Equity Report
The Negative Equity report is a quarterly report that highlights state-by-state estimates for U.S. single-family residential properties. Negative equity, often referred to as “underwater” or “upside down,” means that borrowers owe more on their mortgage than their homes are worth. Negative equity can occur because of a decline in value, an increase in mortgage debt or a combination of both.
