Budrunden tok helt av

Bønes villa, designed by renowned architect Aage Blich, recently sold for 15.6 million kroner, exceeding the asking price by 4.1 million kroner. This unique property, built in 1966, boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, original teak and oak details, and a terrace with a view of the Nordåsvannet lake. The villa has been in the same family since its completion, and the sale attracted around 50 attendees, a rare occurrence in this price bracket.

Karl Filip Kjørstad Falch, the sales representative and senior real estate agent at DNB Eiendom, attributes the high interest to the property's exceptional modernist architecture. He notes that the trend of appreciating unique properties has been growing over recent years, driven by documentaries, articles, books, social media, and other platforms that highlight architectural history.

Falch emphasizes that the strong location, views, originality, and architectural quality set this property apart from traditional family homes.

Vibeke Stavenes, the managing director of Proaktiv Eiendomsmegling, points out that the market in Bergen has been extremely active, with sales typically taking only 15 days. The strong price growth, up 8.2% since New Year, can be attributed to the high demand and limited supply of desirable properties. However, September typically sees a slight price drop due to seasonal factors, and in Bergen, prices actually increased by 0.1% after adjusting for seasonal variations.

Despite the slowdown, Proaktiv expects a calm finish to the year with diminishing demand. Falch believes that the sale of this distinctive villa demonstrates that unique properties are increasingly valued over traditional family homes. The combination of prime location, views, originality, and architectural quality attracts buyers willing to pay a premium.

Stavenes notes that there are still many properties in Bergen selling above asking price, and Proaktiv is particularly interested in less central but attractive family homes. The market remains robust, with a steady demand for quality real estate.
