Boligsalgene tar «betydelig lenger tid»: – Ikke opplevd siden finanskrisen
Antallet usolgte boliger i hovedstaden er rekordhøyt, ifølge DNB Eiendom.
Oslo's housing market saw a notable slowdown this September, with sales taking significantly longer than usual and record-high inventory levels, according to Eiendom Norge's monthly housing price statistics. Nils Elven, DNB Eiendom's Executive Director, reported that it now takes nearly 40 days on average to sell a property in Oslo, a stark contrast to the past.
In contrast, the number of unsold properties surged by 40% compared to September last year. Nationally, housing prices rose by 4.9% this year, despite high inflation and rising interest rates from the central bank. Oddmund Berg, a senior economist at DNB Carnegie, anticipates a slight 0.2% price uptick in September, provided sales activity remains steady.
August's price increase of 0.8% followed a surprising decline of 2.6% in July. Factors contributing to the housing price explosion include excess supply, which negatively impacts both price trends and sales duration, and the competitive nature of the market, which often favors quick sales over long negotiations. Experts predict a possible price correction in September, with a potential fall in prices beyond normal levels in the fall and winter.
