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.
