The Norrtälje area, with its proximity to Stockholm, represents almost one in ten holiday homes sold in the country. Linda Zetterström with over twelve years in the industry sees a clear change in recent months:
– We have a lot of people on screenings, even though we post impressions in different blocks to minimize the spread of infection. Many are also sold before you see them regularly. This is an effect of many people who think they don’t think they can travel this year and then want something to go home.
Figures such as the Hemnet housing site Developed on behalf of TT also shows that the number of holiday homes sold during the first 19 weeks of the year is at the highest level since 2015.
At the same time, according to Hemnet, fewer and fewer vacation homes have been published in recent weeks, which means supply is record.
– Historically, we have made record months compared to previous years and if you look at the total, we sell more vacation homes than before. Given that speculators consider that there is a small supply and it is clear, we have 20 companies interested, there are always 19 left after the sale, says Linda Zetterström.
As for the price you have a holiday home gone in a different direction than condos and villas.
– Prices have constantly risen. Even during a period of declining prices (for renters and villas), no direct impact was observed on a particular vacation home. It’s not like a permanent home and it seems to hold up, regardless of whether the business cycle is going up or down, says Per-Arne Sandegren, chief analyst at Swedish Real Estate Statistics.
For holiday homes, Swedish Broker Statistics compiles only price statistics annually, in the last measurement in April, it also saw a seven percent increase with an average price of just over SEK 1.7 million.
The vacation home market also differs He ate remarkably at another point compared to the condos and villas. Supply is much more limited, when it can be more than a year more than 110,000 tenants sold, which is the same number 6,000 for vacation homes, says Per-Arne Sandegren.
Another factor also contributes to the constant increase in prices, namely that many and many houses are also being renovated, which increases the value.
– They tend to be upgraded in standard terms, for example through water, toilets and drains, which means there is a built-in price increase due to standard upgrades. The standard that existed 20-30 years ago is no longer accepted, says Per-Arne Sandegren.
