Among metro areas with a population of at least 500,000, Baton Rouge, La. had the largest share of seriously underwater mortgages in the first quarter, with 13.4%. Neighboring New Orleans came in second with 7.3%, followed by Jackson, Miss., and Little Rock, Ark., with 6.5% and 6%, respectively. Syracuse, NY came in fifth, with 5.6% of homes seriously underwater.

Holy shite! Q1 2024 Most Underwater Mortgages Per Metro 500k Pop

Declining markets.

Underwater means the balance on the mortgage is more than the value of the house.

May simply mean those are the areas with the latest sales.

A mortgage is going to be underwater in the early part of the mortgage far more than at the middle or end.
