ABC News: Homes Worth Less Than Mortgages

ABC News: Homes Worth Less Than Mortgages

It's a real estate reality facing millions of Americans. Their homes are now worth less than what they owe on them.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com, said, "The last time we saw so many homeowners with so many home values that were worth less than the amount of mortgage they owed was back in the Great Depression."

Economists believe nearly 8.8 million Americans are now saddled with homes worth less than their mortgages. Chere Ferraiulo is among them. She, her husband and three teenage children live in Littleton, Colo., on a street where inside home after home live homeowners facing the same disturbing scenario.
