High production of homes by Veidekke
High production of homes by Veidekke
Veidekke sold 434 homes during the second quarter of 2017. This is
on a par with the first quarter. The number of homes in production
is 3449 with a sales ratio of 87%. Overall, Veidekke has sold homes
for NOK 1.9 billion in Q2 2017.
Veidekke's activities in housing development remain high in both
Norway and Sweden. Overall Veidekke has sold 434 residential units
at a value of NOK 1.8 billion in the quarter, of which Veidekke's
share was NOK 1.5 billion. The number of homes in production at the
end of the quarter was 3,449. Veidekke's share was 2,775. The
corresponding figure for the first quarter of 2017 was 2,973, where
Veidekke's share was 2,205. The overall sales ratio for projects
under construction is 87 %.
"Home sales in 2017 have maintained a high level, and the new
projects that have been put up for sale in the second quarter have
been well-received. The number of homes in production increased as
the quarter progressed. With a high sales ratio for homes in
production and a large share of the sales in the second quarter in
new projects that will start construction in the second half of the
year, the residential business area has good leeway going forward,
even if the market and sales should slow down in the next quarters,"
Giske says.
