“Extremely beautiful and beautiful building”. “Rare occasion”. “The view from the sea almost takes your breath away.” Adjectives and praises abound around the venerable owner-occupied home in Kabelvåg, near Svolvær in Lofoten. The home, which was advertised in February, is the first leisure property in Nordland with an asking price of more than 25 million in Finn. Figures from Finn also show that there are five properties valued at over NOK 10 million. It was not seen in Nordland until last year. The holiday property in Kabelvåg in the south of Lofoten could be the most expensive ever sold in Northern Norway. But if you want to secure the white mansion in Kabelvåg, you need to have a few more millions on the books, because the value is close to NOK 30 million. – We received an offer of 23 million for the property just one week after the advertisement was published, but the seller refused for natural reasons, says estate agent Marius Berger in Eiendomsmegler MNEF. “Normal” price in the capital Berger says that the seller of the property comes from Svolvær, and has done a considerable job in advance of the sale. Estate agent Marius Berger has several assignments in Northern Norway. He works daily from Oslo. Photo: Eiendomsmegler MNEF – The owner has refurbished the home for NOK 22 million! They have found a way back to the original style by cutting down to old wallpaper and rebuilding it. It is unique, says Berger. Despite the fact that it did not sell immediately, Berger shows great interest. Especially from the Oslo region, abroad and 39,000 views on Finn. – For someone’s wallet, it is a stiff price, but the purchasing power is there. It is not a high price compared to properties in the capital. Berger has had several large assignments in northern Norway, and emphasizes that sales like this are also entirely possible in Lofoten. – I don’t know if this is the most expensive holiday property in the region, but many people claim it is.

Nationwide, there are over 5,500 holiday homes to choose from at Finn. However, according to housing expert and manager Jørgen Hellestveit in FINN eiendom, they are seeing fewer clicks on holiday properties this year than last year. – This means that those who want a holiday home have a record number of properties to choose from. Estate agent Marius Berger confirms that he has seen the same trend. The reason is changes in the interest rate and good salary settlements. – Last year was almost dead. Optimism has now begun to rise again, and thus both buyer and seller have more peace of mind about the trade. Berger advises those interested in expensive – or slightly cheaper – leisure properties to take their time. – The most important thing is to buy the leisure property that finds its way to the heart. I believe in sales Whether Nordland’s – and perhaps Northern Norway’s – most expensive holiday home will be sold this summer remains to be seen. The estate agent says that sellers of such expensive properties must have a longer time perspective than other holiday homes. In this case, we are talking about a time frame of three years. Furthermore, he says that in the summer month of July, a total of three private viewings will be carried out in the home on the rock with a view of the idyllic Vestfjorden. – We have ice in our stomachs and patience. Finally, we find the needle in the haystack. – Do you believe that this expensive property will be sold? – Yes, it happens. Estate agent Berger says that selling in the summer can be an advantage, but does not believe that this property is dependent on being shown in a certain season in order to be sold.
