Swedish housing market activity ~~(July–Aug~~ (July–Sept 2026)

Activity remained robust through August 2026, though July data revealed a significant downturn in apartment values. Nationwide apartment prices fell 4.6% in July, with the most severe decline of 7.1% occurring in the Stockholm region. SBAB chief economist Robert Boije described the fall as “surprising,” noting it exceeded typical seasonal slowdowns. Despite this, a SEB survey indicated that over half of Swedish households still expect prices to rise over the next year. By late August, the market showed signs of recovery and shifting trends. Residential construction is increasing, particularly in multi-family housing, highlighted by a major urban development project in Uppsala designed to accommodate 20,000 new homes. In Stockholm, median waiting times for student housing have decreased by 17% compared to the previous year. Data from Hemnet indicates a reversal in apartment pricing trends; one-room apartments are seeing stronger growth, rising 6.7% this year compared to 2.2% for larger units, a shift attributed to eased credit restrictions.
