Our spring normally implies an increased activity on the housing market. But this year, the figures stand out when it comes to apartments for sale, according to Hemnet.

During week 13, the number of objects amounted to 30,764, an increase of 26 percent compared to the same week last year and the highest level ever for a single week.

"Although we see clear signs of a market in recovery, the supply continues to rise. The caution that has characterized the market over the past two to three years is still present, leading to long sales times – and that in turn keeps the supply high", says Hemnet's market analyst Erik Holmberg in a press release.

In Västerbotten County, the supply of apartments has increased by 71 percent, compared to the same week last year, as a result of the bankruptcy of Northvolt. But in six counties, a new record level was noted.
