House prices are rising most in the country in Uppsala County

House prices in Uppsala County have risen by 6.0 per cent in July to September, which is the largest increase in the country.

This shows new figures from Swedish real estate statistics, compiled by Länsförsäkringar real estate agency.

- What we have seen, if we reverse the clock at one year, is that we had a very high market with redundancy in new productions. Now that the market is getting stronger again, the villas have not lost as much but are at a more even price level, says Peter Jakobsson, real estate broker at Länsförsäkringar in Uppsala.

As tenant-owner prices have risen, home buyers have also become more capital-rich, as they made a profit when they sold their tenants, explains Peter Jakobsson.

Other important factors behind the rise in prices are the county's relatively small housing stock in the market, historically low interest rates, and high employment in the county.

Most of the house prices have risen in Älvkarleby, with a full 14.0 percent.

- When prices rise in Uppsala, one seeks out in the crane municipalities. I see that many customers are moving within the county, that you may choose to commute.

The only municipality where house prices have fallen over the past three months is Tierp, with 10.6 percent. At the same time, condominium prices rose by as much as 19.3 per cent, which has to do with new product sales.

Throughout the county, the prices of housing estates rose by an average of 10.2 percent.

In the past year, house prices in the county have risen by 4.4 per cent, while prices for tenant-owned apartments have risen by 2.3 per cent.

In Sweden, house prices have increased by 2.4 per cent, while housing prices have increased by 2.8 per cent.
