Judicial Foreclosure States Have Worst Foreclosure Rates

An interesting news piece this afternoon:

"Foreclosures were completed on fewer properties in July than during the month-earlier and year-earlier periods. Even the biggest foreclosure state slowed its activity. Non-judicial foreclosure states were dominant among states with the greatest number of filings, but the worst rates of foreclosure were in judicial foreclosure states.
The volume of U.S. foreclosures completed last month by mortgage servicers fell 6 percent from June. Improvement was a more significant 16 percent compared to July of last year.
During the 12 months ended July 31, completed foreclosures totaled 794,744, inching up from the previous month's 12-month total of 793,663."
