Marked increase in property transfers

The number of registered transfers of property rose by 20 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2009. Transfers of dwellings and holiday homes rose by 21 and 16 per cent respectively.

Registered transfers of real property. 2000-2009*. 4th quarter

A total of 47 700 transfers of real property were registered in the fourth quarter of 2009; an increase of 7 800 properties compared with the corresponding quarter in 2008. The aggregate value of properties transferred during the fourth quarter of 2009 amounted to NOK 72.7 billion; an increase of 21 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2008.

Transfers of dwellings and holiday homes increased

In the fourth quarter of 2009, a total of 20 800 dwellings were sold on the free market. The average price per transfer was NOK 2.4 million. The highest average price per dwelling transfer in the fourth quarter of 2009 was recorded in Oslo at NOK 3.9 million.

A total of 2 600 holiday properties were sold on the free market in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing a 16 per cent increase from the same quarter last year. The average price per transfer was NOK 1.3 million. Transfers of holiday homes on leased sites are not included in these figures.

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.
