Once that shortfall represented between 50% and 60% of the home's value, an entire 25% of respondents said they would walk away. The hesitation to intentionally default when the theoretical amount of negative equity was $50,000, even when representing the same percentage of a home's value, may relate to the high fixed costs that come with...
