Short Sale Homes: Negative Equity 30%+ of America?

Minnesota Short Sale Homes

I don’t know what the total number of American households underwater with negative equity is, but I am hearing some pretty big stats these days. I thought I heard 30% of the USA and climbing by the day, this may be based on people that bought since 2003, which is a lot of people. Something as simple as 5% more depreciation in homes and it could be quite a bit more. If you don’t believe me watch this video

That has now been followed up with a story about how 25% of sales from the past 12 months have resulted in a loss to the home sellers , meaning they sold the house for less than what they orginally paid for the house. This number could climb if houses keep going down. These articles are saying that Mercid, California and Stockton, Californiareally got hit hard.
