A new report from Public Housing Sweden reveals significant disparities in the rental market. While many large cities face long wait times for first-hand rentals, smaller towns are experiencing an increase in empty apartments. Over half of the 200 housing companies surveyed reported having rentals vacant for over three months. The housing situation is further complicated by a regulated queue system for first-hand rentals, causing people to wait years for housing in urban areas, while potential renters in rural locales can find accommodations more readily available.
'A paradox exists in Sweden's housing market: while larger cities face daunting queues for first-hand rentals, many smaller towns report excess empty apartments, contradicting the overall narrative.'
'Public Housing Sweden found that over half of the participating companies reported having first-hand rentals sitting vacant for three months or longer, indicating a mismatch between demand and availability in certain areas.'
