The real estate prices in Sweden increased significantly between 2008 and 2023. In 2023, the price index reached 455, with 1990 as base year. This was the first decrease in house prices since 2012. Despite the decline, prices in 2023 were still notably higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the reasons was the slowdown in construction, which hampered the supply of new homes.
Rented dwellings are popular among Swedes
Sweden is one of the countries in Europe with the most renters among the population. Only about 64 percent of people lived in an owner-occupied home in 2022. Only a few countries, such as France, Denmark, Germany, and Austria, had lower homeownership rates.
How many rooms do Europeans have at home?
As of 2021, the European countries which had been reported to have the highest number of rooms per person were Ireland and Malta, with 2.3 rooms per person on average. Sweden ranked fifteenth on the list, where the average number of rooms per person was 1.9.
