Prices for older housing company apartments in Finland fell 0.6% in September compared to August. The decline was sharper in the Helsinki metropolitan area, where prices dropped 1.1%. Housing company apartments are the most common form of home ownership in Finland, similar to condominiums in other countries.
Outside the capital region, prices showed mixed trends. Turku saw prices rise 2.9% while Tampere experienced a 0.5% increase compared to August. Both cities are major urban centers in southern Finland.
Compared to last year, prices for older apartments decreased 2.4% nationwide. This marks a continued cooling in Finland's housing market after years of steady growth.
The mixed regional performance suggests local factors are influencing prices differently across the country. The capital region's sharper decline reflects its previously higher price levels and greater sensitivity to economic conditions.
