Econintersect: Yesterday, Econintersect reported that Corelogic’s Shadow inventory levels in the period ending January 2012 were unchanged from the previous reporting period. Now Corelogic is reporting that two of the three elements of shadow inventory – delinquent mortgages and homes in the foreclosure process – declined in February 2012.
Highlights of the report show a reduction of 5% month-over-month (14% YoY) in delinquencies and a 0.5% reduction month-over-month (0.3% YoY) in foreclosures. Florida continues to lead in the amount of delinquent loans.
