Housing prices has stagnated, and while housing has been norwegian's number one safe bet when it has come to investments the last 30 years - giving most baby boomers a pretty comfortable life (with big expensive houses and nice pensions) the "dream" could be shattered, as I wrote about in this post
https://steemit.com/norway/@scandinavianlife/housing-prices-and-homes-are-the-only-things-on-norwegians-minds-and-now-it-could-be-collapsing
Down 1,6% in September
Nominal decrease was 1,6% in September - while seasonally adjusted it was 0,5%
Twelve month growth are in some areas in Norway now in the negative, and in total is 1,5% compare to last years double digits.
Another interesting fact is that norwegian's consumer debt has doubled the last 10 years.
This September there was sold 7,7% less homes than last year, while there were 6,3% more homes for sale.
This could also turn out to be a great opportunity for those very few of us who has been patient and bought a smaller home. It would be nice with a cheap McMansion (or just a regular house with a small lawn)
Tell me about it!! You can look on the bright side though. You dont live here in the Uk!🙁

i think you guys are doing way better than the rest of the world, housing prices are on a steep climb and the cost of leaving is the same too. price drop in most countries could lead to a buying frenzy which will mean more people own homes

A house it is not a good investment, except for people living in a high density area with population growing. If that it is not the case and price rise is higher than inflation, it is much likely a bubble.
Furthermore, a bigger house usually means bigger costs (maintenance, taxes, heating/cooling, etc.)

Yup. I always thought of a house as a liability. But renting is not an option. Too expensive. Its very expensive to be poor in norway. But we are living way beneath our means.
