A total of 185 properties were put up for auction in 2Q2016. That is an increase of 31.2% q-o-q from 141 in 1Q2016. Seven of the properties went under the hammer. Of these, four were transacted below $2.5 million, while three others were sold for between $2.5 million and $5 million. The latter were all mortgagee sales.

There were 61 mortgagee sales in 2Q2016. Of these, 31 were fresh mortgagee sales comprising residential properties (21 units), industrial (six units), office (two units), and shop and shophouse (two units). Mortgagee sales value climbed 105.9% q-o-q from $5.88 million in 1Q2016 to $12.1 million in 2Q, despite only four of the properties being sold.
