The villain index drops 1.1 percent and for the condominiums the reduction is 3.4 percent. In Stockholm, the decline is a little bigger, in Gothenburg a little less.

The number of sales across the country was about five percent more than in April last year, according to Valueguard.

Safe sitting still in the boat

The fact that villas are falling less than tenants explains Claudia Wörmann at SBAB with the fact that the range of villas is more limited than the offer of tenants.

But she also thinks it's too early to talk about a corona effect on housing prices:

- The perception is that those who are out in the market have fairly good confidence, they change housing for private reasons. It is not that you are already seeing people selling because they cannot afford to stay. Anyone who feels greater insecurity does nothing, says Claudia Wörmann.

More people believe in falling prices

The real estate agency Erik Olsson conducts a survey of interested parties every quarter. This Erik Olsson Housing Index is also published today and shows that more people believe that housing prices will fall in the coming year.

Johan Nordenfelt, Head of Information at Erik Olsson Real Estate Agency says it is a corona effect:

- Yes, absolutely, especially the economic effects of the pandemic. Unemployment and other. However, the figure is not record low; there was a bigger minus in what people who go on shows thought both autumn 2017 and 2011 during the Greece crisis, he says.
