The Inland Empire’s foreclosure rate dropped in September, another sign that the region’s economy continues to mend.
Among all outstanding mortgage loans in the two-county region, 0.49 percent were in some state of foreclosure, a drop of 0.23 percentage points year-over-year, Irvine-based CoreLogic reported.
That was lower than the national foreclosure rate, 0.86 percent, for September.
The Inland Empire’s mortgage delinquency rate also fell: 1.99 percent of all mortgages in Riverside and San Bernardino counties were 90 days delinquent or more during September, a year-over-year drop of 0.63 percentage points, according to CoreLogic.
