Swedbank Boindex rises to 110 in Q2, signaling slightly improved homebuying conditions
  • Swedbank’s Boindex rose to 110 in Q2 2026 from 109, signaling slightly improved affordability for homebuyers.
  • Higher incomes, seasonal declines in energy and heating costs drove the improvement, though regional gaps remain wide.
  • Long-term affordability stayed strained as house prices outpaced wages; 1995-2025 median house prices rose 450% versus 155% for median pay.
  • Rising prices increased down-payment hurdles, leaving first-time buyers more reliant on family support, especially singles, young buyers, and big-city households.
