In the first half of the year, Selvaag Bolig sold homes worth more than NOK 2
billion. The company has increased the number of homes under construction to
1,165 units with a sales value of NOK 8.2 billion, the highest value in the
company's history. Two new acquisitions in the Greater Oslo area have been
added to the land bank.
In the first half of 2025, Selvaag Bolig sold 313 homes for NOK 2,015 million
gross. Net sales in the first half totaled 275 homes for NOK 1,728 million.
"We are satisfied with the sales in the first half year. There is increasing
optimism in the market, which we believe will continue throughout autumn due
to wage growth above inflation and expectations of further interest rate cuts
in Norway. The solid sales have enabled us to start construction of more
homes, and we now have a record-high value of NOK 8.2 billion in homes under
construction," says CEO Sverre Molvik.
Selvaag Bolig started construction of 171 homes in the quarter. At the end of
the second quarter, the company had 1,165 homes net under construction with a
total sales value of NOK 8.2 billion. 62 per cent of these units were sold at
the end of the quarter, and 88 per cent of the homes to be completed in 2025
were sold.
"Selvaag Bolig has also added two attractive land plots in the Greater Oslo
area to the land bank. We have acquired a transformation plot with the
potential for about 525 new homes in Nordre Follo and entered into a joint
venture for a land plot with a potential of up to 550 homes in Drammen,"
Molvik continues.
Fewer deliveries resulted in weaker IFRS results for the first half year.
However, the ongoing value creation in the company is good, due to an
increased number of homes under construction and good profitability in the
projects.
"Due to the continued uncertain macroeconomic outlook, the board has decided
not to pay a dividend for the first half at this time. Dividends for the full
year will be assessed in February 2026 based on the results for the year and
the market outlook. The company's policy of paying a dividend of at least 60
per cent of the result has not changed," says Molvik.
