  "account": "Boligprisene i Norge falt 0,7 prosent i september, according to recent figures released by Eiendom Norge. When adjusted for seasonal variations, the prices actually increased by 0.3 percent. This seasonal decline in home prices is typical for this time of year and the broader trend over the past two months. Henning Lauridsen, Eiendom Norge's executive director, noted that housing price developments have been stronger than expected due to recent interest rate hikes in May and September. To date in 2026, Norwegian home prices have risen 4.2 percent, with an average price of 5,020,869 kroner as of the end of September. On average, it now takes 48 days to sell a home, up from 46 days in September last year. However, significant regional disparities persist, with Bergen and Stavanger experiencing price growth while Ålesund and Tromsø have seen declining prices. Oslo is expected to end the year with a negative growth rate of between -1 and 3 percent. In September, 10,491 homes were sold, a 5.8 percent decrease from the same period last year. The supply of homes for sale also decreased, with 10,904 homes listed for sale, a 4.9 percent drop compared to September 2025. Fewer new homes were put on the market in September this year compared to previous years. Despite the decrease in supply, a substantial number of homes were sold throughout the month, reducing the historically high level of inventory since early summer. Oslo's supply of used homes has been at a historic high, with a downward trend in the market. September is usually a month of weak growth in home prices. The central bank set its policy rate at 4.5 percent at the end of the month to curb excessive price increases. This was the bank's second rate hike this year, following an earlier tightening measure. The central bank's upcoming policy rate decision may also not rule out further rate hikes until the peak is reached. In August, home prices increased by 2.1 percent, attributed to historically weak July data. Typically, activity picks up in August as it recovers from the summer slowdown.",
