Reply #20: Not by the standards of some of the posters here

[FBaggins]

You are of course correct that the person would get what they paid for... but too many of the posters here seem to think that if it isn't worth a certain amount then it didn't pay off.

By your standard what is there for them to be upset about? They're still in the home they wanted paying the mortgage payment that they agreed to. Nobody jacked their payment up or rezoned so that they're next to a highway isntead of a forest. The only real change is that if someone else wanted to buy their home from them... they wouldn't pay as much of the current owners did.
