According to Corelogic’s Negative Equity report, the mortgages on more than 11.1 million homes, or 22.8% of the nation’s 48.7 million mortgaged homes, are underwater. Based on Corelogic’s report, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 states with the highest percentage of underwater mortgages.
Some of the states with a high percentage of underwater mortgage had economic problems long before the recent recession. States like Michigan and Rhode Island have experienced long-term industrial declines for some time. In these areas, drops in home values were only accelerated by the recession.
For most of the states on the list, however, a decline in home values is the main reason homeowners suddenly found themselves owing more on the their houses than they are worth. These states, which include Nevada and Arizona, experienced some of the biggest housing booms in the country. Many homeowners took out mortgages when home values were at their highest. The plunge in housing values was just as big, though. As a result, nearly half of all mortgages in these states are underwater.
24/7 Wall St. relied on Corelogic’s Q4 2011 Negative Equity report to determine the states with the highest percentage of mortgages with negative equity. Because of sample size, seven states were excluded from their results. These states, which include Wyoming and Vermont, account for fewer than 5% of the total U.S. population. In our own analysis, we examined a variety of metrics. We included December unemployment rates provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and median income, median home value and poverty rate from the U.S. Census Bureau. Declines in home value from peak to fourth quarter of 2011 is from FHFA. Fourth-quarter 2011 delinquency (90+ days) and foreclosure rates are from Corelogic. Forecast changes in home value by state are from Fiserv.
