| NCC’s housing sales increased in April NCC's sales of housing increased during April compared with a year earlier. A total of 440 (246) units were sold. However, market conditions in the Nordic construction market remained weak. Orders received by NCC declined in April by 38 percent compared with April 2008. The recent years' investments in the housing market resulted in NCC becoming one of the largest housing builders in the Nordic region. The number of development rights totaled 31,537 at April 30th and the ongoing production totaled 3,641. The sales increase during April was primarily attributable to Sweden, where NCC has had a campaign in progress since March under the theme "A room on the house." The increase in sales has meant that the number of completed unsold homes fell from 780 to 730 during April. Furthermore, NCC has during 2009 sold a number of land areas with corresponding contracts, totaling SEK 683 million, to investors. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
