SkandiaMäklarna says global uncertainty is influencing activity in the Swedish housing market, though prices have not yet reacted, according to svenskbyggtidning. The brokerage's comments came in connection with the September 2026 figures from Svensk Mäklarstatistik, reported on 8 October 2026.
The same reporting round points to a market still finding buyers. Göteborgs-Posten reported more housing deals in September and described "good appetite," while Dagens Industri reported rising apartment prices and a new peak level in Stockholm. Corren reported that house prices are climbing, putting the average villa at 4.9 million kronor.
Against that, Svenska Dagbladet reported that a fear index has reached a new level despite interest rate worries. That sits alongside SkandiaMäklarna's assessment that conditions abroad are shaping how deals get done, even if they have not yet shown up in price statistics.
Taken together, the September data describe a market where transaction volumes and prices have held up, while sentiment indicators suggest caution. The distinction SkandiaMäklarna draws is between the pace and mood of the transaction process and the price levels recorded in the statistics — the former is where global factors are being felt first, according to the reporting.
What to watch next: whether the price gains reported for apartments and houses persist into the coming months, or whether the uncertainty SkandiaMäklarna flags starts to show up in the statistics themselves.
