The price for condominiums in Halland has risen as much as 10.6 percent over the past twelve months, compared with 3.7 percent across the country. However, in the last three months the price has gone down in Halland, unlike other Sweden, where it continued to increase.

- It may be a coincidence, but is probably due to new production in Falkenberg, among others (plus 26.1 per cent last year). New production drives up prices in the short term and even the second-hand market can get a boost from new production.

However, this does not affect the opportunities for students to find housing, he says. Rather, it is always a problem when the acceptance message arrives at the beginning of each semester.

The price of villas is increasing more than the state

According to Flink, the fact that house prices go up in Halland more than the average in the country is due to the "west coast effect". Many simply want to buy coastal accommodation, not least before and during the summer, and because the supply is limited the price rises.

- Many brokers choose to sell holiday homes as villas, it gives larger customer groups and increases prices, but we have to go at what the brokers sell the properties as.

In addition, this effect has increased since holiday homes disappeared as a special tax class about four years ago.

For those items that are still sold as holiday homes, the price has risen. Greatly. 9.0 percent in Halland, compared with 3.5 in the whole country.

What conclusions do you draw from the recent statistics?

- For a while there was great concern when the amortization requirement came and intensified last year, the unrest was great and people did not dare to sell or buy. That worry is gone now. It is reasonable to assume that the levels will be high but now people know the rules of the game so the market has stabilized.
