The aggregated value of transferred properties during the second quarter of 2010 amounted to NOK 69.3 billion; an increase of 16 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2010. A total of 42 200 transfers of real property were registered; an increase of almost 7 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Marked increase in dwelling transfers

A total of 19 300 dwelling properties with building were sold on the free market in the second quarter. This was an increase of almost 13 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2010. The average purchase price per transfer was NOK 2.6 million. Oslo still has the highest average price per transfer with NOK 3.8 million.

Minor growth for holiday homes

There were 2 000 sales of holiday homes on the free market in the second quarter, an increase of 2 per cent from the corresponding period last year. The average price per transfer was NOK 1.5 million. The counties of Vestfold had the highest average prices per transfer with NOK 3.3 million. Transfers of holiday homes on a leased site are not included in these figures.

What are the statistics about?

The statistics are based on the number and the value of the registered transfers of real property. The composition of sold properties varies over time as regards size, standard and location. Due to this, the change in average price per transfer from one year to another does not reflect the correct price trend for a certain type of property. For instance, a large number of high-standard holiday homes have been built in recent years. Therefore the average purchase price per transferred holiday home has increased more than the price of one single holiday home. The House price index shows the price trend for dwellings.

Date of registration and date of sale

The statistics are based on the date of registration. This date can be several weeks and even months later than the date of sale.

Free market sale

Free market sale means that the property is sold for a price corresponding to the market value. The property is not always announced for sale on the free market.
