<p>He means that the price of the bonds backing the mortgage fall.
Since the bonds are fixed interest, when interest rates rise, new bonds at a higher interest rate are more profitable than the old bonds at a lower interest rate. As such the free market price of the old bonds will drop to until the selling-at-a-loss reaches an equilibrium with the expected increased profit from higher interest rates of the new bonds over the lifetime of the bond.<p>This lets the loan taker buy back their own bonds for less than what they were paid (the loaned amount) when the bonds were issued.</p>
