Mortgagee sales set to rise in 2015
Weak rental market and rising interest rates will make financing of properties tougher
Singapore
MORE properties went under the hammer this year, including more mortgagee sales which consultants reckon is a sign of increased difficulties among borrowers to finance their mortgages. This is set to rise further next year, they believe.
A total of 529 properties of all types were auctioned and 32 of them were sold at a total value of S$72.5 million. This compares to 488 properties auctioned last year, of which 19 were sold for a total of S$91.6 million.
