The housing market showed little movement in November. At the national level, tenant-owned apartment prices were essentially unchanged – up 0.1 percent – while villa prices fell 0.8 percent.

The small price changes are visible throughout the country, with greater Stockholm and greater Malmö being noted for the largest changes, up 0.7 and down 1.2 percent respectively, according to Swedish Real Estate Statistics' November figures.

November's results now mean that in one year, tenant-owned apartment prices have moved marginally downwards, minus 0.3 percent, while villa prices, in turn, are slightly upwards, 0.2 percent.

However, Marcus Svanberg, CEO of Länsförsäkringar real estate agency, maintains that housing prices will rise by around 5–6 percent next year.

"Our brokers testify that there have been more and more visitors to the viewings during the autumn and that there has been a higher pace in the bidding. Over the next year, our assessment is that confidence in the future will increase," he says in a press release.

Irja Amolin, CEO of Bjurfors, also believes in a price increase in 2026:

"Several things indicate this. Above all, the large supply has begun to decrease, but also that households' purchasing power continues to be strengthened through upcoming tax cuts and more generous amortization rules," she says in a press release.
