The largest price increases over the past 10 years have been in Jämtland and Gotland – an increase of 82 and 80 percent, respectively, based on square meter prices for apartments, houses, and row houses.
The increases in the counties are largely due to an unusually strong increase in demand during the pandemic years, according to figures from Hemnet.
The fluctuations on the housing market have been significant over the past 10 years, due to credit restrictions, the pandemic, and rising interest rates.
The lowest price increase has been in Uppsala County, with an increase of 33 percent. Stockholm and Örebro counties have also had price increases below average – up 47 and 41 percent, respectively.
The amortization requirements have had a significant impact on areas with high prices and a relatively large number of apartments. The price development in both Stockholm and Uppsala has clearly slowed down since the amortization requirements were introduced, according to Hemnet's market analyst Erik Holmberg.
