According to First American CoreLogic, 12% of homes in MN are upside down (upside down meaning owning more on your home than it is worth).
"A growing share of the Twin Cities housing market consists of homes in foreclosure and lender-mediated short sales, and those properties are contributing to a decline in median home prices. In September, the 13-county area's median price was $189,900, nearly 16 percent off the same period a year ago."
MN ranks below the national average of 18% of negative mortgages. Some of the states hit the biggest are:
Nevada was the highest with 48 percent
Michigan, Florida, Arizona, California, Georgia and Ohio - reporting negative equity shares of greater than 20 percent.
New York had the lowest at 4 percent.

There is no doubt that the "Credit Crisis" has had a tremendous effect on the real estate market, even so much that the government wants to get involved. Home prices have consistently fallen with no end in sight. What do we do? Wait for the market to correct itself or have the government help. The bail out bill is supposed to be voted on again this Thursday.
The "Main Street" community is anxious to see how this plays out and what effect this will have on them.
