That's the appraiser's job. The appraiser comes out, looks at the house to see if there are any obvious problems (like, "missing roof" really lowers the value), then gets recent sale prices for "comparable" homes, and uses all that to come up with an estimate of what the current market value is.
If they foreclose, then they don't really care what the value is. They know what the loan was, and they put it up at auction. As long as they get at least that, they're happy. If they get less, then it's still a debt the former homeowner owes them. If they get more, they're supposed to give the surplus to the former homeowner, but in practice, there won't be a surplus.

How does zero down home loan work?
There are basically two different types of zero-down home loans. The first is a 100% or more home equity loan, where the lender advances up to the full value of the home. The other is an 80/20, where the lender offers a primary mortgage for up to 80% of the home's value and a second mortgage against the same property for the balance as the "down payment".
Is mortgage insurance optional?
no. If you have a loan greater than 80% of the value of the home and the lender requires mortgage insurance, then it is not optional.

Can you take out a home equity loan without equity in your house?
A home equity loan is a mortgage based on the value of your home that exceeds any outstanding mortgages. Your equity is the value of your home that is actually paid for. If your home is fair market valued at $100,000 and there is an outstanding mortgage in the amount of $40,000 then you have $60,000 in equity. However, note that due to costs, fees and fluctuating home values a lender will generally not loan the full amount of equity but something less than the fair market difference. In your case, having no equity in the home means that you have nothing to offer the lender as collateral and the lender has no reason to loan you any money. No equity means no home equity loan.

How long does the purchase price of the home continue to be the value versus appraised value?
The purchase price of the home is not the value of the home. It is what you paid for the home. The value of the home is the appraised value. A lender would look only at the appraised value of a home for lending purposes. If you paid more or less for the home, that is on you.

It depends on who you have a mortgage with. The value of the home is in some ways determined by how much you still owe, so you should contact your mortgage lender.

What title policy insures title to the lender?
Lender Policy When taking out title insurance, usually for a minimal fee you would obtain a simultaneous policy...So that you and your lender would be covered. It is important to have an owners policy covering the value in the home above the lender so that your interests are covered as well.
Can lender foreclose if home value decreases and you re making your payments?
No. A lender can foreclose only if you default on your mortgage payments. There are probably tens of thousands of homeowners who are making their mortgage payments on time even though their property has decreased in value. If there is no default there can be no foreclosure. I respectfully disagree. Okay it must be noted that we do not know the details in the lender's agreement with the signatory. Therefore it is possible for a lender to initiate foreclose based on something within the agreement something in the contract that has been violated. A foreclosure can in theory occur if you are making your payments because often times that is not the sole condition in the lender's agreement.
How soon can you get a home loan after you have had a foreclosure?
Each lender is different. Contact the lender of your choice for that lender's policy.
Can a lender sue if you do not have a job?
