This is the sound of being 17 and racing home at 80mph to beat curfew on humid, dripping August nights. It is also the sound of collegiate depression but we'll just focus on the good, ok?

Short Sales: Banks Blocking Way Out of Foreclosure Crisis
Brett Ellis, a real estate agent in Fort Myers, Fla., was thrilled when he got an offer for a property in Bell Tower Park in May 2008.
"It was a gorgeous property on the corner lot," Ellis told the Huffington Post. The owner, who had lost his job, wanted to sell the apartment for a loss rather than go into foreclosure, a strategy known as a short sale.

Those hoping for a sign that southern New Jersey’s real estate market has bottomed out didn’t find it in Tuesday’s report from the National Association of Realtors, which showed home prices in Atlantic County 21 percent lower than a year ago.
There was no “green shoot” — current economist lingo for a seedling of positive news — in the April RealtyTrac foreclosure report either. Foreclosure filings increased 28 percent in Atlantic County, 15 percent in Cape May County, 12 percent in Cumberland County and 18 percent in Ocean County.

TORONTO (Reuters Life!) - To exit through the back door of Toronto's "smallest house," first fold the Murphy bed back into the wall; it takes up the entire seven-foot width of the bedroom.
Built in 1912, the pint-size "Little House" features one bedroom, a kitchen with folding table and chairs, a living room and a full, if narrow, bathroom.

Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.
Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed.
Call them the new poor: people long accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life who are now relying on public assistance for the first time in their lives — potentially for years to come.
