In September there were 572 households in Arkansas facing possible foreclosure, according RealtyTrac. Filings were up 12.82% from the year-ago period as the backlog in the pipeline continues to trickle forward.

Northwest Arkansas saw less filings from a year ago, while Fort Smith metro area delinquencies increased sharply in the same period – yet another contradiction between the neighboring metro areas.

Benton County reported 92 filings last month down 19.3% from September 2011. Likewise in Washington County mortgage delinquencies totaled 50, which was a 72.5% decrease from a year ago.
