I wouldn't hold your breath as there are concerns that if people think they are in that level of negative equity they will default on their mortgage. The flip side of that is first time buyers are not going to buy anytime soon as the watch prices slowly creep down.
I think that would be the case if they were all 100% mortgages. You can add another 10% at least if the average were 90% mortgage. [Although these loans are not all for residential related property.]
