Norwegian comedian and actor Thomas Giertsen has reduced the asking price of his apartment on St. Hanshaugen in Oslo four times, bringing the total price drop to three million kroner since it was first put on the market, according to Nettavisen.
- Thomas Giertsen has reduced the asking price of his Herman Foss’ gate apartment four times, bringing the new price down to 8,900,000 kroner.
- The property was initially listed in the fall with an asking price of 11,900,000 kroner and a total price of 12,4 million kroner.
- Despite a cumulative three-million-kroner reduction, Giertsen still faces a substantial overall profit after purchasing the flat for 2,050,000 kroner back in 2004.
The 55-year-old entertainer initially put the compact five-room flat on the market in September. After failing to secure a buyer at the initial valuation, the price was quickly adjusted downward to 10,5 million kroner, before dropping further to 9,9 million kroner, Nettavisen reported. A subsequent adjustment brought the figure to 9,4 million kroner, leading up to the latest reduction.
New figures from Solgt.no establish that the apartment now sits at an asking price of 8,900,000 kroner. This latest maneuver lops another 500,000 kroner off the listing.
Finn-announcements pitch the property as an efficient layout featuring four bedrooms facing the courtyard alongside solid rental potential. Archival listings uncovered by Nettavisen indicate previous rental periods, including a monthly rate of 33,000 kroner recorded in July 2024. Older listings from 2022 explicitly marketed the residence as ideal for shared student housing.
| Listing Phase | Asking Price (NOK) | Cumulative Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| First Adjustment | 10,5 millioner | -500,000 |
| Second Adjustment | 9,9 millioner | -2,000,000 |
| Current Listing (Solgt.no) | 8,900,000 | -3,000,000 |
When Nettavisen first addressed the downward trajectory of the sale, Giertsen maintained an unconcerned stance. He characterized the transaction as a routine part of an ongoing portfolio management strategy rather than a cause for alarm.
Hva prisen på leiligheten faktisk blir, er det markedet som avgjør. Den blir det den blir,
Giertsen stated to Nettavisen regarding the shifting valuations.
Even with the shaved valuation on the Herman Foss’ gate asset, the extended holding period since his initial 2004 purchase secures a wide safety margin against his original acquisition cost of 2,050,000 kroner.
