According to the AP
A soaring number of U.S. homeowners struggled to make mortgage payments in the third quarter, with properties in some stage of foreclosure more than doubling from the same time last year, a mortgage data company said Thursday.
A total of 446,726 homes nationwide were targeted by some sort of foreclosure activity from July to September, up 100.1 percent from 223,233 properties in the year-ago period, according to Irvine-based RealtyTrac Inc.
The current figure was 33.9 percent higher than the 333,731 properties in foreclosure in the second quarter of this year.
There was one foreclosure filing for every 196 households in the nation during the most recent quarter, RealtyTrac said.
This year in Iowa, according to the RealtyTrac website, 6,377 homes are currently in foreclosure.
