In May, the Housing Price Barometer decreased from 39 to 33 percent. The figure indicates the difference between the proportion of households that believe in higher housing prices in a year compared to the proportion that believes in lower housing prices.
"We have a falling temperature on the housing market, where the uncertain global situation has laid itself like a wet blanket over the housing market", says Stefan Westerberg, Länsförsäkringar's private economist in a press release.
The figures behind the barometer show that 40 percent expect a price increase on the housing market, compared to 45 percent the previous month. 7 percent believe that prices will fall, while 47 percent of those surveyed believe that prices will remain steady.
