Mortgage more than house worth? We have seen this problem a lot.

This is called being underwater. That phrase alone send chills down my spine and just makes me want to fold and call it quits.

Lets get back on topic, you owe more money on your Mortgage than the house is actually worth. Your house is worth ($180000 for an example) and try to list it on the MLS for sale for at least the mortgage an mount due. Your getting prospective buyers but nobody is pulling the trigger and executing a signed contract. Why? The property values in the neighborhood have dropped significantly and now brand new houses all remolded with the works, are selling for only $140000. Your buyers are telling themselves why buy a house at $180000 if I can get the same down the block for $140000? Thus No Sale!
