How sustainable is this?
In the news today, 1 in 6 homeowners is underwater.
Anyone looking for signs that the housing crash has run its course had better look elsewhere.

If the 1 in 6 does not include the transaction costs to sell the house then my guess would be that many more than 1 in 6 homeowners are underwater. To find out how many we would need to understand how many homeowners have a mortgage that is approximately 6% below the price the property could be sold for.
