Norway’s housing market showed firmer momentum in April 2026, with the House Price Index rising 3.8% year-over-year, up from a 3.0% annual increase in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 6 May 2026, point to a further strengthening of price growth after a period of more moderate gains.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring how prices in April 2026 compare with April 2025, while the previous reading reflected the change in March 2026 relative to March 2025. The acceleration suggests that underlying demand in the Norwegian housing market has continued to support prices into the second quarter of 2026, with annual gains now running noticeably above the pace seen a month earlier.
The pick-up in the April index will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess the durability of housing demand and potential implications for household finances and broader economic conditions in Norway.
