Magnolia Bostad Interim Report Jan–Sep 2023

We are currently seeing an almost total slowdown in the housing market with a strong impact on the number of housing starts for 2023. The market situation is still tough and it is estimated the number of housing starts will be affected some way into 2024. The Riksbank's base rate looks set to remain at a higher level during the autumn and a bit into next year. However, inflation shows signs of easing somewhat and a slowing inflation rate can be sensed.

There is still a major need for housing, and we see a need for an aggressive housing policy to create the conditions to maintain housing construction and avoid a future housing deficit. We have over 8,700 residential units in production, all sold or intended for self-management. Our building rights portfolio consists of around 14,000 building rights and we continuously adjust it based on prevailing market conditions.

We continue to work with our projects in progress and upcoming ones, and see tendencies towards movement in the transaction market, as well as the beginnings of an increase in new business opportunities. During Q3, we acquired attractive building rights in Sollentuna, mainly for the new production of rental properties, but also for terraced houses. In addition, we acquired completed residential units from a JV and thus increased the number of units in self-management to nearly 500
