Veidekke ASA: Sold homes for NOK 1.4 billion in Q2
Veidekke sold 275 residential units during the second quarter of 2019.
Activities are evenly distributed between Norway and Sweden. Overall, Veidekke
has sold homes for NOK 1.4 billion during the second quarter of 2019. The number
of residential units under production is 2,798.
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%.
