Every other day, it seems, more information trickles out showing that the real estate markets are on a slow, yet steady, path to recovery, and Lender Processing Services (LPS) has contributed to that trend with its latest data on mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures.

The nation’s mortgage delinquency rate, LPS found, was down 2.03 percent from December to January and 8.35 percent from January 2012; similarly, foreclosure inventory was down 0.82 percent monthly and and a dramatic 19.39 percent yearly.
