Good news for potential and current home owners; the worst effects of the housing crisis are beginning to wind down, according to a report.

RealtyTrac’s latest report shows the number of foreclosures in the U.S. in April is down 13 percent to 188,780 from 219,258 a year ago. However, some of the largest cities in the U.S. continue to lag behind the rest of the country and still have long to go before the housing crash has fully run its course.

RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosed, published the number of new home foreclosures in April across the 50 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the country.

From the states surveyed, 10 had more than double the national foreclosure rate, which is one out of every 698 new homes. In California’s Inland Empire metropolitan area, the rate was more than triple that.

These are the 10 cities with the most homes in foreclosure:
