In 2017, $103.35 million worth of residential, commercial and industrial properties went under the hammer, according to a report released by JLL on Dec 18. This marks the highest transaction value at auctions in a year since 2011. Residential sales, which stood at approximately $79.79 million, made up 77.2% of the total auction sales value.
According to the report, this was on the back of an approximately 10% y-o-y rise in the number of properties sold at auction, which rose from 41 in 2016 to 45 in 2017.
Among the largest sales in 2017 by quantum was a bungalow along Chestnut Drive – sold for $11.38 million in April – and a five-storey commercial building at South Bridge Road, which was sold for $6.68 million in November, says the report.
