I'm in exactly the same boat. I did an FHA AmeriDream loan with what amounted to 100% financing.

Based on the minimum I think my house would sell for, I'd walk away with 12% equity, but that would drop to 5.5% after realtor comissions on a sale.

The wife and I want a bigger place, but I don't want to take a leap until the number work in a worse-case scenario. The good thing is the longer we wait, the better the numbers get (more equity and hopefully more capital gains).
