Negative Equity Falls By -24.9% Y/Y

Such unusually high home price appreciation during 2021 pushed down national negative equity to the lowest figure in over a dozen years.  Just 1.1M homeowners were underwater on their mortgages in Q4 2021, down from 1.5M homes or 2.8% of all mortgage properties in Q4 2020.

CoreLogic indicated that if home prices were to increase by 5% (as predicted by CoreLogic from December 2021 to December 2022), 141,000 homes currently underwater would regain equity.  If home prices were to fall by -5%, an additional 183,000 homes would fall underwater.
