* = preliminary figures

A total of 54 000 transfers of real property were registered in the fourth quarter of 2016; an increase of 1 000 properties compared with the same quarter in 2015. The aggregate value of properties transferred during the fourth quarter of 2016 amounted to NOK 120.3 billion. This is an increase of NOK 11 billion compared with the corresponding quarter in 2015.

Increase in transfers of dwellings

In total, 24 800 dwellings were sold on the free market in the fourth quarter of 2016; an increase of 2.9 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2015. The increase was strongest in Sør-Trøndelag and Oslo, with 17 and 16 per cent respectively.

More transfers of holiday homes

In the fourth quarter of 2016, a total of 4 200 holiday homes were sold on the free market. This is an increase of 1.7 per cent. Almost 3 200 of these were holiday homes on an owned site, while 1 000 were transfers of holiday homes on a leased site. The average price per transfer was NOK 1.7 million for holiday homes on an owned site, and NOK 1.6 million for holiday homes on a leased site.

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.
