Home mortgages that are in some stage of delinquency dropped from 5.2 percent a year ago to 5 percent in September, according to a new report from CoreLogic, an information intelligence company that serves the real estate and mortgage finance sectors. The new data show a drop in delinquencies despite a spike in delinquencies of 30 to 59 days caused by hurricanes in Miami and Houston, metro areas that showed the highest level of mortgages that were at least 30 days overdue.
