Foreclosures were up annually in October throughout Massachusetts: "756 foreclosure deeds were recorded in October, a 35.7 percent increase from the same month a year ago ... Petitions are the first step in the foreclosure process. And in October, petitions increased 5.9 percent from a year ago to 1,193. This is the first time petitions increased year-over-year since August 2010 ... it’s also the fourth straight month that petitions have been above 1,000." [Globe]
