28.8% decrease vs 2015
For 2016, 73.000 properties were foreclosed, i.e. 0.3% of all the properties existing in Spain. Which is an impressive decrease of 28.8% vs the numbers of 2015.
Finally, if we compare that number to all the mortgages constituted for the period 2003-2015, there was 0.13% of foreclosed mortgages in the Q4 2016.
