concentrations of credit risk exist when changes in economic , industry or geographic factors similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate exposure is material in relation to our total credit exposure . loans outstanding and related unfunded commitments are concentrated in our primary geographic markets . at december 31 , 2007 , no specific industry concentration exceeded 5% ( 5 % ) of total commercial loans outstanding and unfunded commitments . in the normal course of business , we originate or purchase loan products whose contractual features , when concentrated , may increase our exposure as a holder and servicer of those loan products . possible product terms and features that may create a concentration of credit risk would include loan products whose terms permit negative amortization , a high loan-to-value ratio , features that may expose the borrower to future increases in repayments above increases in market interest rates , below-market interest rates and interest-only loans , among others . we originate interest-only loans to commercial borrowers . these products are standard in the financial services industry and the features of these products are considered during the underwriting process to mitigate the increased risk of this product feature that may result in borrowers not being able to make interest and principal payments when due . we do not believe that these product features create a concentration of credit risk . we also originate home equity loans and lines of credit that result in a credit concentration of high loan-to-value ratio loan products at the time of origination . in addition , these loans are concentrated in our primary geographic markets as discussed above . at december 31 , 2007 , $ 2.7 billion of the $ 14.4 billion of home equity loans ( included in 201cconsumer 201d in the table above ) had a loan-to-value ratio greater than 90% ( 90 % ) . these loans are collateralized primarily by 1-4 family residential properties . as part of our asset and liability management activities , we also periodically purchase residential mortgage loans that are collateralized by 1-4 family residential properties . at december 31 , 2007 , $ 3.0 billion of the $ 9.6 billion of residential mortgage loans were interest- only loans . we realized net gains from sales of commercial mortgages of $ 39 million in 2007 , $ 55 million in 2006 and $ 61 million in 2005 . gains on sales of education loans totaled $ 24 million in 2007 , $ 33 million in 2006 and $ 19 million in 2005 . loans held for sale are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheet and are not included in the table above . interest income from total loans held for sale was $ 184 million for 2007 , $ 157 million for 2006 and $ 104 million for 2005 and is included in other interest income in our consolidated income statement. .
