If the value of a home drops, can the mortgage-holder...
...accelerate the balance of the mortgage? The County's assesed value of our home has dropped almost 30% in the past two years due to the weaker market, and we're now considerably upside-down on our mortgage. We intend to continue paying as usual (our mortgage is still cheaper than renting a similar home), but should I be concerned about repercussions from the bank that holds our mortgage? Can they demand that we pay down some of our loan so that we're not so upside-down?
