Accutrust explains 'Negative Equity' (Underwater)
Negative equity often occurs when a homeowner purchases a house using a mortgage and then the economy starts to slow or home prices start to drop. After the house purchase, the value of the home decreases below the value of the amount owed on the mortgage, causing negative equity.
GOOD NEWS
The wait is over for homeowners who want to refinance but owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.
