The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s June Housing Scorecard finds positive signs among mixed housing data. The housing scorecard offers key data on the health of the housing market and the administration’s foreclosure prevention programs. Home prices turned upward and the number of homeowners falling into foreclosure continued to fall. Seriously delinquent mortgages, which are those at least 90 days late, have dropped 22 percent since last year. The percentage of mortgages 30-days late fell from 5.9 percent last year to 4.3 percent. More here and here.
