Small increase in transfers of holiday homes

A total of 2 200 holiday properties with building were sold on the free market in the first quarter of 2012. This is an increase of 3 per cent. Almost 1 700 of these were holiday homes on owned sites, while more than 500 were transfers of holiday homes on leased sites. The average price per transfer was NOK 1.3 million.

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 or occasionally 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.
