Many Ohio homeowners remain underwater on mortgages

Five years after the housing recovery began, more than 5 million U.S. homeowners owe considerably more on their homes than the homes are worth, according to Attom Data Solutions. The real-estate information service found that at the end of the first quarter, 5.5 million homeowners, or 9.7 percent of all homeowners with mortgages, owed at least 25 percent more on their mortgages than their home's value, down from 6.7 million a year earlier.
