U.S. Homeowners Four Times as Likely to Be Equity Rich Than Underwater

May 31, 2020 By Kurt last modified on December 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

A new study that was conducted by ATTOM Data Solutions has revealed that approximately 14.5 million residential properties within the US were considered equity rich.
