Selvaag Bolig ASA: Better sales of new homes in all markets
Selvaag Bolig sold 216 homes with a combined value of NOK 788 million in the first quarter.
"It's gratifying to see that the market for new homes is recovering as we expected. The shift has come even earlier than we thought," says CEO Baard Schumann.
"Interest is substantially higher than in the second half of 2017, and sales in February and March have been steady and good in all our projects. We occupy a strong position in the markets where we're making a commitment, and we take a positive view of future developments."
Construction started for 102 homes, 54 were completed and 59 were delivered to their buyer. At 31 March, the company had 1 511 homes under construction and 19 completed units still unsold.
Adjusted for Selvaag Bolig's share of joint venture projects, sales in the first quarter came to 185 homes with a value of NOK 693 million.
The company sold 190 homes with a combined value of NOK 984 million in the first quarter of 2017. Gross sales for that period were 238 homes.
