If you plan to sell it- short sale can be an option,
If you plan to live in the property-loan modification can be an option.

Do you need to sell? A short sale could be a possibility but you may need to show hardship. Find yourself an experienced short sale agent with previous short sale closings. If you don't need to sell or can't prove a hardship, talk to your lender about a loan modification or just hang in there until the market improves. You're not the only one in this circumstance. Good luck.

Hi,
If you are selling the home and your loan is higher than the value of the homel you can be responsible for the difference if you have the finances.  If you do not have the funds a good Realtor can help you with a "Short Sale".   You can find out about these from your bank or on line at ActiveRain.com
Good Luck!

What happens if you owe more than the current value of the home?

What are the circumstances surrounding the question. Selling? Refinancing?
