Nordic Housing Crisis: What’s Really Driving It? - The Northern Economic Perspective 2025#49

In this episode of The Northern Economy Perspective, Nora Lindholm
analyses the deepening housing market crisis in Sweden and its
spillover effects across Finland. Housing prices have fallen by
15–20% since their peak in 2022, construction companies face a 60%
rise in insolvencies, and new building permits have nearly
collapsed.
Drawing on current Nordic research and regional economic data, the
episode explains how inflation, rising interest rates, structural
debt risks, and the slowdown in construction are reshaping the
Nordic real-estate landscape.
Key themes include Sweden’s flexible-rate mortgage model, Finland’s
vulnerability in the Helsinki region, investor behaviour, and early
signs of recovery as the Riksbank begins cutting interest
rates.
