A new report by the Mortgage Bankers Association says New Jersey is third in the nation in the number of loans either in foreclosure or on the brink. More than one in 10 New Jersey mortgage loans are already in foreclosure or are 90 days or more in arrears, says the association’s National Delinquency Survey for the second quarter of 2011, which looked at almost 43.9 million mortgage loans across the country, including 1,252,958 in New Jersey. The state’s 11.36 percent rate of “seriously delinquent” mortgages was third highest in the U.S. Florida topped the list with 18.68 percent, followed by Nevada, with 14.34 percent.
