RealtyTrac: Blame 6 states for the foreclosure mess

"We're still seeing the highest rates of foreclosure activity in the same states." So says Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac. His group found foreclosure rates were up 71 percent in the third quarter when compared with a year ago. The top six states account for 60 percent of third quarter foreclosure activity; they are California, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Michigan and Nevada.
