More Good News For Home Owners Under Water On Their Mortgage
Home prices have been on the rise across the United States and New Mexico is no exception. Core Logic’s Equity report was released today and there is good news in the report. The second quarter report for 2013 states that across the United States, home price appreciation helped 2.5 million home owners return to positive equity. Although 7.1 million home owners or 14.5% in the United States remain under water. Both of these numbers are good news and compare favorability over the first quarter 2013 report. According to Core Logic, 9.6 million home owners or 19.7% were under water.
