"After a couple of challenging years, we are now seeing signs that the market is turning around,” says CEO Sverre Molvik.
“Overall, we have had significantly better sales this year than last year, and we believe it can get even better going forward.
“We have attractive projects, there is a great demand for housing, and several interest rate cuts and wage growth have been announced. The coming years can therefore bring good sales. We already have 400 homes for sale and several large new projects are nearing sales start."
Net sales in the fourth quarter, sales adjusted for Selvaag Bolig's ownership share in joint ventures, ended at 122 homes worth NOK 849 million. Construction of 298 homes was started, 168 homes were completed, and 172 homes were delivered to buyers.
Net sales for the year 2024 ended at 568 homes worth NOK 3 673 million. Construction of 559 homes was started, 514 homes were completed, and 532 homes were delivered to buyers.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Selvaag Bolig had 829 homes under construction and 81 completed homes that were not sold. In addition, the company had 26 completed homes that were sold but not yet delivered. The corresponding figures for the end of the third quarter were 700 homes under construction and 87 completed homes that were not sold, as well as 23 completed homes that were sold but not yet delivered.
"Better sales have allowed us to increase the number of homes under construction significantly. We now have a solid order backlog that we aim to increase further going forward,” Molvik says.
“During the year, we have also entered into agreements for new land plots for 880 homes in Greater-Oslo, Bergen and Stockholm. We believe there are opportunities to make good land purchases now and are therefore working on further investments. This will strengthen our solid land bank and provide more projects in the future," says Molvik.
