Swedish housing prices increased in March 2026, according to new statistics from Svensk Mäklarstatistik. The data shows condominium prices rose by 1.9 percent nationwide, while house prices increased by 1 percent compared to the previous month.
The strongest growth was recorded in the Stockholm metropolitan area, where condominium prices jumped by 3 percent, with the highest prices in Stockholm's inner city. Hans Flink, business development manager at Svensk Mäklarstatistik, described Stockholm's inner city as "almost like its own market, because so many people want to live here."

Flink suggested the price increases represent a "recoil upward" after four years of nearly stagnant prices. "We've had a very long period - four years - where prices have barely moved upward. It's not so strange that we're now seeing some form of recoil upward," Flink told Svenska Dagbladet.
The analyst also noted that new mortgage rules introduced on April 1 may have contributed to higher prices in the Stockholm area. The new regulations include increased loan-to-value ratios, allowing borrowers to access up to 90 percent of a property's value compared to the previous 85 percent requirement.

Regional variations showed Malmö's prices remained largely unchanged for condominiums, while Gothenburg saw a 0.5 percent decline. House prices showed more uniform growth across the country, with approximately 1 percent increases in all three major metropolitan areas.
