About Hemnet

The largest property portal in Sweden

Hemnet operates the leading property platform in Sweden. We emerged as an industry initiative in 1998 and has since then transformed into a "win-win" value proposition for the housing market. By offering a unique combination of relevant products, insights and inspiration, Hemnet has built lasting relationships with buyers, sellers and real estate agents for more than 25 years. We share a mutual passion for homes with our stakeholders, and are driven by being an independent and obvious place for people to turn to with the various needs for housing that arise throughout life.

Hemnet is the platform in Sweden that brings together the largest number of visitors and the widest selection of property listings in one place. Our platforms receive over 40 million visits per month, and Hemnet is the fourth largest Swedish commercial website in terms of reach, with 1.8 million unique visitors per week (Orvesto, 2025). Thanks to our large and relevant audience, we provide the players in the housing market with the best possible conditions to connect, thereby increasing their chances of successful property transactions.

Our unique network effects

Hemnet plays a crucial role in the Swedish housing market by seamlessly connecting buyers, sellers, and real estate agents on an efficient platform. Designed to create value for all stakeholders, Hemnet enables smoother property transactions while promoting a more transparent, dynamic, and efficient housing market. At the heart of Hemnet's success lies the strength of our network effects.

All key stakeholders — buyers, sellers, and real estate agents — are drawn to the platform because they see it as the most efficient way to reach and interact with one another. Sellers list their properties to reach Sweden's largest audience of home buyers, while buyers use Hemnet to find the most relevant property listings. Real estate agents use the platform to reach customers on both sides of the transaction, as well as to benefit from Hemnet's tools that streamline their work and enhance their appeal. This mutual dependence creates a virtuous cycle that reinforces Hemnet's role as the natural hub of the Swedish housing market.

  • 84% prefer Hemnet when buying or selling their home.
  • 67% consider Hemnet to be the most important platform to be listed on.

To achieve this, we bring together the largest number of buyers, sellers, and real estate agents in one single place. Our goal is to make the housing journey as simple, efficient, and smooth as possible, for everyone. So that everyone can have the opportunity to find a place to call home.
