In recent years, the market has remained more or less static. According to experts, the demand for real estate in Norway is currently growing, as are prices. At the same time, construction activity is low, housing sales in the country are growing slightly. Foreign investors seek to find offers in the capital - Oslo, there is a constant influx of tourists, migrants come who are ready to make investments or replenish the number of tenants. The cost of real estate in Norway in Oslo is the highest in the country, so it is expensive for an investment, but there are also high rental rates. For renting, it is better to buy objects in large settlements or in resort areas with picturesque views or in ski resorts such as Kongsberg, Trysil, Hemsedal, Geilo, Nurefjell. Feedback from buyers of housing in the residential complexes confirms the compliance of the facilities under construction with building standards.
