Annual rate of foreclosure in Spain is 0.3%

The total number of registrations for foreclosure initiated in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 18.000 houses. That is what the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica said in its last report.

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.
