Kjøpte hytte i Nordmarka: – Ingen andre budgivere

Eiendom NorgeBransjeorganisasjonen, representing 52 Norwegian real estate companies, reported that Henning Lauridsen and his wife recently purchased a summer cottage in Nordmarka for 3.45 million kroner. The 86-square-meter cottage, located in the Elgkollen area near Myllavannet, was initially advertised for 3.65 million kroner in the fall but quickly resold.

Lauridsen explained that they had been considering buying a cottage for some time and stumbled upon this one by chance. The price was competitive compared to the current market, which he believed was at a bottom for vacation home sales. The cottage was completed in 2021 and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is situated on a nearly quarter-hectare plot with easy access to hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trails.

Lauridsen and his wife joined the ranks of over 452,000 Norwegian vacation home and cottage owners, with nearly half of them situated above 400 meters in elevation. This recent purchase came at a price above the current average for all vacation homes sold so far this year, but Lauridsen believes the used market offers better value compared to building a new one.
