[housing] couldn't resist it, sorry

Didn't plan to do a financial article today but couldn't go past this:

Foreclosures Jump 93 Percent in July

… on the new maildotcom news page:

The number of foreclosure filings reported in the U.S. last month jumped 93 percent from July of 2006 and rose 9 percent from June, the latest sign that homeowners are having trouble making payments and finding buyers during the national housing downturn.

I'm not saying anything more today. Everything's fine - all's well in this best of all possible worlds.
