Veidekke sold 275 residential units during the second quarter of 2019. In comparison, 215 homes were sold in Q2 2018 and 404 homes in Q1 2019. The sales rate in Sweden has picked up somewhat in recent quarters. In Norway sales are stable. The value of the residential units sold in the quarter was NOK 1,4 billion, of which Veidekke’s share was NOK 1 billion.

“The second quarter was characterised by good interest and sales in all of our focus areas, and the positive trend we have seen in Sweden in recent quarters looks to continue,” says EVP Jørgen Wiese Porsmyr. “The sales ratio of the portfolio remains stable, and in our overall portfolio the number of units under production remains high. There are many projects with a high sales ratio that are approaching completion in Sweden, and this may result in a lower sales ratio and fewer units in production in the time ahead.”

The number of units under construction is increasing compared to the end of 2018 and is currently at 2,798 units, of which Veidekke’s share is 2,174 units. The sales ratio for units under construction is 82%.
