If value of home drops am I still liable on the outstanding mortgage?
What if the value of my home drops? Am I still personally liable on the outstanding mortgage? I heard that you could hire a real estate lawyer and actually reduce the outstanding loan to the lower house value here in California.

Mary, you were already given the money. You already spent it. The value today does not matter, you took $XX amount and promised to repay it. Now you are refusing because the value is not there?


acermill
You heard incorrectly. If you borrowed $200K to buy a house, you are expected to pay back all $200K, plus the interest charges until it is paid off. Why on earth would a bank lower the amount owed just because the value of the house drops ? That doesn't work with car loans, and it doesn't work with mortgages either.


organizeyourbiz
WHAT? You're kidding right? You took out the loan and are responsible for the entire loan. It will not lower because your house decreased in value. Where have you been the last couple of years?

If you signed a mortgage agreement to borrow $100,000 for a house, you are contractually obligated to meet the terms of the agreement. The current value of the home is not a factor. In some cases, if the mortgage holder agrees, the amount owed could be renegotiated. The bank/mortgage holder is not obligated to change the terms. There have been proposals in congress concerning re-valuing mortgages down to their current worth, but there is no law at this time.

You got to be kidding. If the market was up 25% would and the value of your home went up 25% would your Mtg payment go up or balance of your loan go up?????? NO so why would you think it the value of your home goes down you should owe less???? You really just don't get it.
