Sweden's housing market shows a stark contrast between areas struggling with shortages and regions with excessive vacant apartments. The latest report from Public Housing Sweden indicates a doubling of empty apartments among surveyed housing companies within a year. Over half of these companies reported unoccupied rentals for more than three months. First-hand rentals typically involve long wait times due to a queue system, while second-hand rentals are available through subletting. Notably, a third of companies offer first-hand rentals within a year, primarily in smaller towns.
Public Housing Sweden's report outlines a dual housing market in Sweden, where some areas face acute shortages while others have increasing vacancies. Over half of the surveyed housing companies reported empty apartments that have been unoccupied for over three months. This discrepancy showcases the challenges inherent in Sweden's housing landscape, particularly regarding the allocation of first-hand rentals, linked to state-regulated price controls and a lengthy queue system.
The housing crisis in Sweden reveals stark differences: some regions are struggling with insufficient housing, while others boast a growing surplus of empty apartments. The number of vacant units among participating housing companies has nearly doubled in just one year, indicating an imbalance in supply and demand that complicates the rental landscape for prospective tenants.
