[FRED]

ForeclosureRadar™ (ForeclosureRadar.com) today released its July, 2007 California Foreclosure Report, showing a total of 8,716 homes sold at auction in July with a loan value of $3.5 Billion dollars, a 24.6 percent increase over June. Of these, 95 percent, or $3.33 Billion in loans, were returned to the lender with no bid from a 3rd party.

Ok, so you're probably wondering, what's the significance of the dog?

Think of the dog as representing your house. When the market was hot, everyone thought he was cute. Now that it isn't, well, you might still love him because he's yours, but don't expect anyone else to.

That is one ugly dog. I'm camping near a guy whose last dog's name was Fugly. I asked, "Why Fugly?" Reply, "Because he was ******* ugly."

Your dog must be Fugly II.

Unfortunately the vast majority of these foreclosed homes are still in specific outlying areas of the Bay Area, San Diego, and Los Angeles.

I'm still not seeing that much pain in San Francisco; will be in LA in 3 weeks and will look around then.

Certainly the pool houses are no longer being successfully sold as property - my mother has been looking to move from Central CA to LA for some time but refused to pay what she thinks (and I agreed) were ridiculous prices.

Her last foray last year was a ~1000 sq. foot property on the same street as my aunt (her sister); it turned out to be a converted pool house in the back of one of my aunt's neighbor's yard. Asking price $550,000!

I'm going to the pound to get one of those critters. Looks like the perfect companion for the coming debacle and TEOTWAWKI ! :eek:

This mutt is fugly squared.

Consider putting "fugly" as an adjective in the iTulip glossary.

Example. Today on Wall Street is fugly.

Trade-off: Suppose your broker looked like this dog but did NOT keep real asset price histories out-of-sight.

Almost as ugly as a CDO squared...

This is/was Sam, the winner of the World's Ugliest Dog. He was a local at the Santa Barbara Trader Joe's and that's typical Santa Barbara in the background. Susie, Sam's mom, will be needed to love the world's ugliest housing disaster/credit crunch/bubble popping. Next up, a World's Ugliest Housing situation competition.

Btw, believe it or not, Sam was purebred - Chinese hairless crested.

Thank heavens for humor. There are times when it makes a shitty 3 days bearable, especially when coupled with a 328 point rally in the DJI.
