This is a good trend to see and one that hopefully will continue. Delinquent mortgages are the precursor to foreclosures and foreclosures have been pounding home prices. So goes the delinquent mortgages,so go the foreclosures and so goes their negative impact on home prices. We have a long way to go but at least things are moving the right direction.
