domain-term proposed

Negative Equity

Owing more than the home's estimated value. Internal vocabulary only: borrower-facing copy never uses "underwater", "negative equity", or "over-leveraged" — the gap is stated plainly and kindly, framed as common and temporary, steering toward what's still possible.
