How this was made

  • House prices are Statistics Norway's price index for existing dwellings, for all dwelling types in the whole country (table 07221). Statistics Norway gives only the index level. We calculated the 12-month change ourselves: the index in a quarter divided by the index in the same quarter a year earlier, minus 1.
  • Rents are Statistics Norway's 12-month change in the consumer price index for actual rents paid by tenants for their main residence (table 14700, group 04.1.1). It is Statistics Norway's own figure; we have not calculated it. Prices overall are the 12-month change of the consumer price index as a whole, from the same table.
  • House prices are quarterly and rents are monthly. The text therefore always says which period each figure is for, and the two figures are not from the same date.
  • The rent index follows how rents have changed for people who rent. It does not show what it costs to rent a home today.
  • Statistics Norway publishes new house prices once a quarter and new rent figures once a month. This page updates automatically after each release.

Statistics Norway's notes on table 14700

  • On sub-group levels a code is attached to the text, meaning services (S), non-durables (ND), semi-durables (SD) or durables (D).
  • This table replaces table 03013. As of 2026 the reference year is 2025=100. Rates of change calculated from the 2015=100 series may differ from published rates of change before 2026 with another reference year. The deviations are mainly due to rounding effects. See the completed table 03013 for published rates of change for the period 2017 to 2025 with 2015=100, or table 11446 for published rates of change figures through 2016 with 1998=100. As of January 2016 UNs' consumer classification COICOP2018 is applied.
  • .. = Data not available. Figures have not been entered into our databases or are too unreliable to be published.
  • . = Category not applicable. Figures do not exist at this time, because the category was not in use when the figures were collected.
