But you won't be kicked out of the house because the monthly repayment increased by an extra $1k a month.
I was in negative equity in the UK for nearly a decade after buying in September 2007 and seeing value collapse 40% pretty much the day after exchanging contracts (Northern Rock bank run). A new built flat was always going to deprecate a little, but when the flat directly below us told a year later for 60% the price we paid it wasn't fun.
Solution when I did need to move was to rent out the flat (which covered the interest payments and maintenence) and rent somewhere else until 2016, when the price had recovered enough to sell it for the price I bought it at.
