Selvaag Bolig sold 277 homes for NOK 1 130 million in the third quarter. Rise in

house prices led to an improved profit margin.

"House prices in the Oslo area are rising sharply and that's having a direct

impact on our results," says CEO Baard Schumann at Selvaag Bolig ASA.

"This reflects our business model, where costs are locked before sales start and

homes are sold at market price throughout the construction time of a project.

When prices rise, the profitability of our projects improves."

Selvaag Bolig started the construction of 223 homes during the third quarter. At

30 September, it had 1 464 units under construction with an overall sales value

of roughly NOK 5.8 billion. Ninety per cent were sold.

At 31 October, Selvaag Bolig had 48 completed homes which remained unsold.

"We have great faith in the future market. In the Oslo area, where we have the

bulk of our projects, demand is very high and supply low. The market outlook is

also positive in Bergen and Trondheim, and we see clear signs of an improvement

in the Stavanger area," says Schumann.
