It is debt, but it is debt that is secured to an asset that in the long run will probably not depreciate.
In that way, unless you are under water on your mortgage, the fact that you have it is likely increasing your net worth - because it allows you to own your home, which you have equity in.
So it is debt, but it is likely that it is much better debt than a credit card or normal line of credit.
