What we show: SCB sales of houses for year-round living (småhus, permanentbostad) with their own land in 2025. We list kommuner with 10 or more sales, so one or two sales cannot make the list. We change prices to euros at 11.0 kronor for €1.

Kommuner where the average house cost under SEK 1 million

SEK 1 million is about €91,000. In 24 kommuner with 10 or more sales, the average house for year-round living sold for less than that in 2025. Together they had 1,444 sales. Most are in the north and in Värmland. An average is pulled up by a few expensive houses, so many houses in these places sold for less.

What this means for a buyer

The numbers do not say what state the house is in

SCB counts the sale and the price. It does not record the condition. A low average often means many old houses that need work.

An average, not a count of cheap houses

SCB publishes the number of sales and the average price for each kommun. It does not say how many houses sold under €50,000, so we do not print such a count.

Who can buy

Anyone can buy a house in Sweden. There are no rules for foreign buyers, from the US and the UK too. In practice, a Swedish ID number (samordningsnummer) and a bank account make the payment easier.

What it costs to buy

You pay a stamp duty (stämpelskatt) of 1.5% of the price, or of last year's tax value if that is higher. The title fee (lagfart) of SEK 825 comes on top. A loan adds 2% on a new mortgage deed.

Bidding is normal

The asking price is often only a start. Buyers bid, and the agent runs the bidding (budgivning). A bid does not bind you until you sign the contract.

What the numbers leave out

These are houses for year-round living sold with their own land, not on leased land (tomträtt). Many of the cheapest houses sell without an agent. Agency statistics show higher prices for the same places. Kommuner with too few sales are hidden by SCB.
