Sweden Living Market Figures Q1 2026

Residential transaction volume totalled SEK 7 billion in Q1, an increase of 26% year-on-year, representing approximately 18% of total investment across all sectors. The number of transactions also increased by 30% compared to Q1 2025, reflecting broad-based activity across deal sizes.
Underlying fundamentals remain broadly supportive, with inflation under control, though the geopolitical climate remains a factor to monitor. Should the financing costs continue to rise as a result, lower-yielding residential sub-segments may see reduced activity, though the sector's need-driven demand provides some resilience despite the current uncertainty.
