The housing market during 2023 has been characterized by waiting consumers, a record-high supply and a record few housing deals.
– Prices have been surprisingly stable during 2023. Most noticeable is a record high supply in combination with a record few housing deals. In general, many of those who have not had to move have waited due to great uncertainty around interest rates, inflation and developments in the housing market, says Johan Engström, CEO of the Real Estate Agency, in a press release.
In two years' time, the number of housing transactions fell the most in Gotland County, by 34 percent. Västerbotten is the county where the number of housing transactions fell the least, by 12 percent. If you compare the number in 2023 with 2022, the decline is greatest in Kronoberg County, -21 percent, while Västerbotten County also has the smallest decline, -5 percent.
