Fewer dwellings transferred

In total, 16 100 dwelling properties with building were sold on the free market in the first quarter. This is somewhat fewer than in the first quarter of 2007. The average price for these properties was NOK 2.3 million, an increase of 8 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter last year. The average price per dwelling transfer in the first quarter of 2008 was highest in Oslo and Troms with NOK 3.4 million and NOK 2.9 million respectively.

Correction of the data basis

Due to increasing insufficient information concerning type of property in the basis data from the title registration, information from the Register of Real Properties, Addresses and Buildings is used to improve the statistics. This correction is done on data from 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.
