I am not sure whether this only will have an impact on the rental market. Most of the employees will have to find a rent by themselves anyway. However, many say that property market is in a buble state in Norway and it may deflate soon.

I agree that this event will affect mainly the rental market, but many people owning houses in Stavanger just for company lease's purposes, and they may sell just to avoid extra charges, I hope!!!
