Prices and rent
A 70 m² flat costs about 6.4 mill. kr and a 140 m² detached house about 12.6 mill. kr, by SSB's price model. This is modelled, not actual sale prices.
Renting a 50 m² flat costs about 15,600 kr a month and a 70 m² one about 18,800 kr, excluding power, by SSB's rental survey. SSB gives rent per town or bydel, not per neighbourhood, so the figure is adjusted by the price level here.
