Sweden’s housing construction to rise in 2027-2028, Boverket forecasts

Housing construction looks set to increase in 2027-2028 compared with this year, according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning. A new forecast points to just over 32,000 homes being built this year, followed by 34,000-35,000 over the next two years, the authority writes in a press release.

Market conditions continue to pose challenges for housing construction, according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning.

"Although household purchasing power is recovering, many are still struggling with lower purchasing power than before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Construction costs also remain at a high level and show no signs of coming down," the authority writes.

So far, the effects of the war in Iran have not had any major impact on housing construction, according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning.
