    It means that you actually owe more on the house than it’s currently worth. This also happens a lot with cars (they depreciate at a quicker rate than you are paying on the principal).

    It would mean your current mortgage amount is larger that the current market value of your home. This is very rare because banks very very rarely loan over 100% (if that) of the market value on your first mortgage. Have you refinanced before or possibly have a home equity loan (2nd mortgage) on your home? Also look at the area your home is located in, has there been major layoffs or businesses closing? It could be possible that the location of your home has depreciated from the value your orginal mortgage was based on.
