New figures from Swedish Real Estate Statistics show that the prices of villas have increased significantly more over the past year compared with condominiums.

But in the last three months it looks different, as the pandemic effect seems to have subsided.

House prices have stayed up, by minus 0.1 per cent in the last quarter, in contrast to condominiums, which have had a price increase of four per cent in the past three months.

- The fact that condominium prices in the country are starting to pick up again proves that Swedes are now returning to more normal consumption patterns, compared with the strong demand for villas during the pandemic, says Marcus Svanberg, CEO of Länsförsäkringar fastighetsförmedling.
