What happens if your mortgage is worth more than your home?

What happens if your mortgage is worth more than your house? I'm worried that I overpaid for the house and that the value will go down.

Hi Ryan! Stop worrying. Enjoy your house and take care of it. Property values may fluctuate in the short term, but generally increase over time, unless neglected or poorly located. Nothing "happens", except your equity grows.

Mortgage is worth or you owe more than the house is worth? A Realtor can send you clarification on this as well as a CMA (market analysis) to confirm this. Most of the homes in Memphis purchased 2023 or earlier are not upside down.

  • Can I buy a house and have someone else pay the mortgage?

    I'm thinking of buying a house for an aging parent. If I put the loan in my name, could my parent pay the monthly mortgage or a portion of the income? I want to help my parent, but I don't want it to appear as income on my taxes or be penalized for trying to help.
