Swedish households are more positive towards the housing market. More than half, 53 percent, believe in rising housing prices over a one-year period according to Länsförsäkringar's housing price barometer. It is the highest figure since June earlier this year, while only 4 percent believe in a price drop.
Länsförsäkringar themselves also believe in rising prices:
"The Swedish Central Bank's continued interest rate cuts, real wage increases and tax cuts in 2025 will give Swedes more money in their pockets. This will increase their purchasing power and contribute to higher housing prices. We expect housing prices to increase by around 6 percent in 2025", says Stefan Westerberg, private economist at Länsförsäkringar in a press release.
