These so-known as underwater mortgages pose a roadblock to a housing recovery because the properties are more probably to fall into bank foreclosure and get dumped into an currently saturated industry. Economists from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. stated Monday they did not anticipate U.S. property rates to hit bottom until early 2011, citing the prospect of oversupply.
