RICS: Global Distressed Property Monitor August 2009

According to a study conducted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the number of distressed property sales has increased worldwide.

In 75% of the 27 countries examined, the number of so-called distressed properties put on the market went up during the second quarter, according to the poll. South Africa is at the top of the list of countries showing the largest increase, with the U.S.A. and New Zealand hot on its heels. The exceptions are China and Brazil, where the number of such objects on the market went down compared to the previous quarter.

There was little change in the German Property Market, Czechia, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy and Switzerland. On the other hand, Germany is among the favourite target countries for funds specializing in opportunities created by the crisis. Bargain hunters are also scrutinizing Italy, Great Britain, the U.S.A., Hungary, Spain and Ireland.
