Black month-tilbud på bolig: – På grensen til ulovlig

En annonsert biljett til en tomannsbolig på Godlia i Oslo har en "black-month" tilbud: en redusering av 14,2 millioner norske kroner til 13,3 millioner kroner. This announcement, penned by Krogsveen, is not deemed particularly problematic by the Consumer Authority. Marit Evensen, a senior adviser at the authority, points out that most people associate "Black Friday" with reduced prices, reflecting what the item's typical selling price usually is.

However, she clarifies that a home's price is determined by market conditions and does not follow a fixed rate, unlike most products. The Consumer Authority rarely takes issue with this type of marketing, but it has raised concerns with the industry. Dominik Zych, the director and partner of the sales firm in charge of the Oslo property, has no comment on the matter.

Nevertheless, the phrase "Black-month tilbud" has been removed from the property's advertisement. Cathrine Temmerud, the company's director of product and competence development, confirms that they do not use this term in their marketing. She emphasizes that this is not a practice they engage in.
