The average price per transfer was NOK 1.6 million for holiday homes on an owned site. For holiday homes on a leased site the average price was NOK 1.3 million.

Small increase for dwelling transfers

A total of 22 400 dwelling properties with buildings were sold on the free market in the second quarter of 2014. This was an increase of 2 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2013. The average purchase price per transfer was NOK 3.1 million. The highest average price per dwelling transfer in the fourth quarter of 2014 was recorded in Oslo at NOK 4.3 million.

Not price statisticsOpen 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.
