In the last three months, condominium prices in the county have fallen by five percent and house prices have fallen by one percent. This is shown by figures from Swedish broker statistics analyzed by Länsförsäkringar Fastighetsförmedling.
Brokers that SVT news Västerbotten has been in contact with believe that it is the global situation that means that it is now more cautious in the housing market and that it takes longer before a deal is concluded.
– You are more cautious as a buyer now. Some villas that were outside the city have been sold for less than what we started with, says Sara Stenlund, CEO of Boporten in Umeå.
“Worry if you bought before you sold”
People who have already bought a house and then have to sell their home can be in a difficult situation.
– There are certain things to be worried about if you bought before you sold. You may have had an expectation several months ago and now it looks completely different. We were in a super good market and now we are in a less good market, says Adrian Javaher, broker at Ahlm and Dahl in Umeå.
