Does properties here mean houses?
Context:
A week of devastating floods and landslides in the Balkans has killed at least 45 people. More rainfall could be on its way
Most of the damage has been in Serbia, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thousands of properties have been wrecked, and 50,000 people have been evacuated. Much of the mayhem has resulted from at least 300 reported landslides and mudslides. There are also reports that the landslides will dislodge some of the 120,000 unexploded mines planted during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.
