yes,and the previous owner would still be living there if the bank offered to reduce the principal to 94k.Quote from DT-waw:

Holy sh...
just don't understand this complaint on tv like it is a crisis to be "underwater" on a mortgage. Heck I've been "underwater" in a mutual fund and it was no big deal. (and those mutual funds don't keep the rain out. Even if you have one, you still need an umbrella or at least a raincoat (if you dont 'live in AZ.))Quote from ddaytrader:
and according to the comp sales at the bottom of the listing, it needs to drop another 16K if it is going to find a buyer ... average home price in area looks as though it is about 78K, down from 250K in 2005 - sounds like a bit like Netflix
and the reason for that is, houses are easy to buy, but still extremely difficult to sell, and no one wants to get tied down to any geographic location right now. Especially when other than the weather, almost every place in the world is just the same, (the all have a McDonalds.)Quote from oldtime:
bad neighborhoods can turn into very nice neghborhoods, it happens all over the country. It's probably more likely that a good neighborhood goes bad than a bad neghborhood goes worse. Especially if young people can come in and buy at these low prices and rates. Easy now for old people to give their kids a big help. Problem is, young do not want to buy so much anymore.
