Prisutvecklingen på bostäder i Sverige har under lång tid varit en framgångssaga för säljare. Med låga räntor, stor efterfrågan och begränsat utbud har priserna stigit. Sedan hösten 2017 har en oro utvecklats på bostadsmarknaden.

DThe price development of housing in Sweden has long been a success story for sellers. With low interest rates, high demand and limited supply the prices have risen. Since the fall of 2017, the market uncertainty has grown. Prices are falling, demand decreases, and housing developers get harder to sell their newly produced homes, which in the long run can lead to reduced housing production. The pot
