Chapter 3 · Home turf

Sweden: where the game was born

Swedish sale prices are public, argued about, and perfect raw material for a guessing game. This is our home market — and the deepest one.

Why Sweden works

Sweden publishes sold prices, which means every round ends with the truth. Bostadsrätt or villa, Norrland or Skåne — if it sold, it can appear on your map.

The market has personality: bidding wars that overshoot, winter lulls that surprise, and a national obsession with price-per-square-metre that makes everyone feel like an analyst.

What to watch for

Monthly fees change everything for apartments. A stunning sea view can beat an extra room. And in the big cities, the right school catchment moves prices more than a renovated kitchen.
