    I use to live in San Francisco but moved to Oslo in 1999. One of the best decisions that I ever made. My home is not far from Skøyen, which is an up and coming area. Pretty sure your video will drum up some interest. Enjoyed it.

    It appears the refrigerator is on the left of the stove. I like that proximity. A little more colour in the kitchen and the apartment is my preference.
    No question about the quality of life in all of Norway.

    Oslo is freaking crazy expensive. That small apartment he is living in is about 6 million NOK, an average Norwegian salary (676 000 NOK according to SSB), with an average student loan (410 000 NOK according to lanekassen) will give you a mortgage from the bank about 2.7 - 3 million NOK depending how much money you already have in the bank. That's less than half of this small apartment.
    The Norwegian economy is in bad shape, our purchasing power (currently 19th in the world, was among top 10's before 2014) is diminishing each year due to high inflation and the real estate market getting crazy expensive. Norwegians haven't had growth in our real wages since 2014-2015. On top of this we are paying the most taxes in the world, which is not on income tax but total taxes you pay for your living.
    An example of things is that the water and sewage prices has increased 20-30% yearly for 2-3 years now, and is expected to continue growing, on top of this you pay 25% tax on this bill.
    I know a lot of other European countries are also struggling financially, so perhaps Norway is slightly better off. But I would rather recommend moving to a country with better prosperities.

    @tobban3588 7 місяців тому +6

    With Norways rapidly declining currency (NOK), all property in Oslo is loosing value even though prices are going up. On top of that, the norwegian government is REALLY politcally unstable when it comes to taxes.

    • @sanderrecommends
      @sanderrecommends  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes, that's right. On the other hand, it's a good time to buy property if you have cash in Euros and get something at a good discount.

    • @pauljamero
      @pauljamero 6 місяців тому +1

      The apartment prices are increasing at rate significantly faster than Norwegian currency is "losing" its value. The currency is weaker from its strongest in 2013 but since then, the change is relatively stable in the last year. I live in Norway, and send money abroad. So I know.

      I also live in Norway and have been closely studying Norways monetary policy for the past 5 years. Even with a simple google search you can see that it has lost 50% against USD (wich on top of that also lost most of its purchasing power) since 2008. So no, real estate in Norway has at best stayed stagnant for a long long time measured in purchaseing power.

      @@sanderrecommends well this area is basically border of the city then I don’t think so it ll be ever part of the center as long Oslo will not take neighboring towns. But agree in terms of comfort it is probably nice area to live but in competition Sørenga area being also modern is much better situated compared area from video.

  • @jakeforrest
    @jakeforrest 6 місяців тому +2

    Copenhagen is much better. The language is almost identical, but Copenhagen is much cheaper. Oslo is relatively small in comparison and house prices are insane. In Oslo you are surrounded by mountains and almost trapped, where the ferry to Copenhagen is the only meaningful escape. Besides that, Norway have rams walking around, that may try to hit you, so you will have to seek protection in one of the many cottages laying around, which in Norway is called a “hytte”. Welcome to Norway!

      That's not an average Norwegian, that's a spoiled brat... The average Norwegian lives in a house, or a twice as big an apartment, but don't live a five minute tram ride from the royal palace like this dude.
      There's a reason why most, "moved to Norway" bloggers have beautiful vistas all around them: that's were Norway is. In the middle of Oslo, you can just as well be in the middle of Berlin, or Paris.
