single-family home prices were unchanged sequentially)
STOCKHOLM, March 8 (Reuters) - The price of apartments
in Sweden rose by 1% in the three month period between December
and February compared to the previous three months, while
single-family homes remained unchanged, figures from an
association of real estate agents showed on Wednesday.
The price of apartments were down by 11% compared with the
same period a year earlier, while single-family homes declined
by 13%.
Swedish house prices started to fall last year after the
central bank abruptly began hiking rates after almost eight
years of zero or negative interest rates.
