Decreasing sales of holiday homes

There were 2 600 sales of holiday homes on the free market in the second quarter, a decrease of 5 per cent from the corresponding period last year. A total of 2 000 of these were holiday homes on an owned site, while more than 600 were transfers of holiday homes on a leased site. The average price per transfer was NOK 1.5 million for holiday homes on an owned site. For holiday homes on a leased site the average price was NOK 1.3 million.

What are the statistics about?Open and readClose

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.

Date of registration and date of saleOpen and readClose

The statistics are based on the date of registration. This date can be several weeks or occasionally months later than the date of sale. On average, a property is registered 30 days after the date of sale.
