July Foreclosure Rates

The Loudoun Times has some foreclosure news:

"Loudoun in July saw a 54 percent increase in foreclosure filings from the same month in 2007,according to new data from California-based RealtyTrac.com. . . . Foreclosure paperwork was filed against one out of every 169 homes in Loudoun in July, a rate second in the state only to Prince William County, which saw a rate of one out of every 103 homes".

July foreclosure rates:

Prince William: 1 out of every 103 houses
Loudoun: 1 out of every 169 houses
Fairfax: 1 out of every 226 houses
National average: 1 out of every 464 houses
The article goes on to point out that sales increased with falling prices, which we already knew here.

Does anyone have earlier numbers in that format for PWC? I mean, 1 foreclosure for every X number of houses? I cannot find my accounting of the foreclosure rate, but I feel like it is getting worse rather than better.

Thanks!

Wow...that's quite an uptick...looks like it'll be a while before we 'find the bottom'.
