The Wall Street Journal?s Real Time Economics reported that: Researchers have found that homeowners start to default once their negative equity passes 10% of the home?s value.

About 17% of households would choose voluntary foreclosure as a solution ? even if they could pay the mortgage ? when the equity shortfall hits 50% of the house?s value, they found.
