Long student apartment queues and insecure subleases can feel hopeless. An entirely own apartment is what many dream of during their study period. For those looking for a one-room apartment of around 25 square meters, however, the differences are large in the country.
Bjurfors has compiled data from Broker Statistics, and compared what small apartments cost in some common student locations. It turns out that prices in many places have fallen slightly since last year. In Sundsvall, where the square meter price is the lowest among student locations, prices for small apartments have fallen by 3 percent over the past year.
In Stockholm, which is absolutely the most expensive, prices have risen by 1 percent compared to last year. In Malmö, they have fallen back by 4 percent, and in Gothenburg by 9 percent.
But according to Bjurfors, it is the buyers' market for speculators on student apartments right now. The supply is large, which means that buyers can choose and pick.
Stockholm is the most expensive, with an average price for one-room apartments of 98,703 kronor per square meter, which gives a price for a one-room apartment of 25 square meters of almost 2.5 million kronor.
Lund and Gothenburg also belong to the more expensive ones, with square meter prices of 57,566 kronor and 57,640 kronor, respectively, which means that 25 square meters cost almost 1.5 million kronor.
Uppsala is only slightly lower, 51,520 kronor per square meter, almost 1.3 million for a one-room apartment of 25 square meters.
The cheapest is Sundsvall. There, the average price is 14,663 kronor per square meter, which gives a price for a one-room apartment of 25 square meters of almost 400,000 kronor.
Borås and Eskilstuna have square meter prices of around 18,000 kronor, which means that a one-room apartment costs around 450,000 kronor.
