The housing market has cautiously thawed, but in April it came to a standstill again, according to Svensk Mäklarstatistik's latest figures. Global anxiety may be a factor that plays in. "Psychology plays a major role in the housing market", says Marcus Svanberg, CEO of Länsförsäkringar Fastighetsförmedling.
