More people see the opportunity to make money by renting out summer cottages and villas, something that real estate agents have noticed.

- It is clearly a trend even if it does not affect the housing market in general right now, says real estate agent Christer Bergh in Umeå. 

"Brand new for us"

Even in Skellefteå, the industries are screaming for housing for their employees and there the brokers have also noticed the house rental.

- We have definitely noticed from this trend that you are waiting to sell and rent out instead.

It is completely new to us and a new market that we have discovered, says Jan-Erik Lööf, real estate agent in Skellefteå.
