Georgia Foreclosures jump 99%...

snip-


Hundreds of Georgians lost their homes Tuesday.

The houses, taken from debt-laden homeowners, were sold to bidders on courthouse steps statewide.

The increasingly busy monthly auctions show that not all of the residential market is in decline.

More than 115,000 properties across the country were in the foreclosure process in October — up 42 percent from the same month a year earlier, according to RealtyTrac, a California company that tracks foreclosures.

Sick...sick...sick...

Newsflash... there is no housing bubble. It was manufactured.

Some days I hate my job. This is one of them.

2. I wonder how many of those homes were owned by service members, reservists
national guard, who had to go to Iraq, and couldn't afford to keep up their house payments because they had to leave their lucrative jobs? I would love to see the nationwide statistics on that.
