Stable price differences for detached houses
In 2010, the average price of second-hand detached houses was 25 per cent lower than the average price of new detached houses. The corresponding share in 2009 was the same.
The average square metre price of new detached houses completed in 2010 was NOK 23 803. The average square metre price of detached houses transferred in the second-hand market in the same year was NOK 17 930.
The corresponding average square metre price in 2009 was NOK 22 651 for new detached houses and NOK 16 847 for detached houses transferred in the second-hand market .
Most expensive in Oslo and Stavanger
In 2010, the price per square metre for new detached houses was highest in Oslo with NOK 41 969, followed by Stavanger with NOK 34 538. These cities also had the highest price level for second-hand detached houses, with an average square metre price of NOK 35 100 and 29 118 respectively.
Cheapest in North-Trøndelag
Last year, North-Trøndelag was the least expensive county for both new detached houses and second-hand. In this county the average square metre price of new detached houses was almost NOK 19 742, and NOK 11 189 for second-hand new detached houses.
Uncertain figures for large citiesThere are few observations of new detached houses in Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. In addition, there are large price differences within the largest cities. This makes comparison between the largest cities more uncertain. Uncertainty of comparisonThe comparison between new and second-hand detached houses is based on two different surveys with different definitions for the time of measurement. The prices of new detached houses are connected to the quarter in which the construction work is completed, which could be more than a year after the contract is signed. The price of second-hand detached houses is connected to the same quarter as the sales contract is signed. |
