Hemnet’s Buyer Barometer November 2025: Fewer Home Buyers Expect Prices to Fall

At the same time, the share expecting rising prices remained unchanged from November, at 33 percent. The shift therefore occurred mainly among those who previously anticipated falling prices. This group instead moved into the category expecting unchanged prices. The share expecting stable price developments increased by 6 percentage points and reached 54 percent – the highest level ever recorded.

Overall, this results in a net figure — the difference between those expecting rising versus falling prices — of +19 percentage points. This is an increase of 5 percentage points compared with November.

Percentage of buyers expecting:
Increasing prices: 32.7 percent (32.8% in the previous month)
Decreasing prices: 13.3 percent (19.0% in the previous month)
Unchanged prices: 54.0 percent (48.3% in the previous month)

Erik Holmberg, market Analyst at Hemnet, commented:
“One can conclude that home buyers generally expect only small movements in the housing market going forward, without any major shifts. A record share believes prices will remain unchanged, and a historically small proportion expect them to fall. This is also reflected in the price development during the autumn, where movements have been modest and the annual rate is only slightly above last year’s level.”

Hemnet’s Buyers’ Barometer went out to 2,247 respondents between 1 and 2 December.
