Good video. When you look at cheap houses, you also have to look at the operating costs. I saw that some houses had very high running costs, SEK 60,000/year. It is SEK 5,000/month. Saw that it was direct electric heating. Together with the loan, the house may not be so cheap anymore.
This is fantastic😂😂😂😂 So beautiful country! I love all of the blue one and the one far north are my favourites! This is a paradise❤❤❤I am learning Sweddish lovely language!
I thought the same as well after visiting it a few times. My husband always told me it is a boring place. Now I have been living here for almost 4 years, we are both trying all avenues to get out! 😄😂
Regarding the house in Sävast, Boden: I don't think it is by a lake, but that the property is by the Lule River. Or by a "tributary" to the Lule river. Lule River is one of our large rivers in Norrland that crosses Sweden and flows into the Baltic Sea.
As an American looking for peace and better opportunities abroad I find this video very helpful thank you. You're such a great resource, your videos are both informative and entertaining!
If a house in Sweden is surprisingly cheap, and it has been on the market for a long time, there's something wrong with it - one very common problem is mold. As a buyer you cannot undo a purchase, if the problem you want to claim, you with circumspect COULD have detected before you made the contract to buy the property. This is called your "undersökningsplikt". There is also something called "dolt fel" which you couldn't have detected. I recommend to pay for an objective enginering-firm to make a thorough inspection before you pay the full price, but you can start with paying about 10% as a "handpenning", so that you are first to a contract. Why is mold so common? It is because the many energy-crises, when people added isolation without adding proper ventilation, and it resulted in people like living in a closed plastic-bag, the humidity closed in was soaked up by the isolation and other building materials. Of course it can be a very proper house, but there are no jobs around anymore, as can happen when the one and only bigger local employer shuts the shop down and moves the work-places to third world country. If you don't need a house and two jobs this might not be your problem at all. In rural Sweden especially doctors with good Swedish language skills are sought after. And selfemployed IT-nomads might live anywhere... Consider buying a share in a windmill for cheaper electricity for heating and driving.
At 5:50 would be an old church, I live downstairs in a building like this, outside was very similar but where I live was bigger. Nice you got some home even from my town.
Thank you so much for posting these again! I feel increasingly more motivated to try Sweden again, now that I can afford to purchase one of these properties (I lived in Stockholm for a few months in 2012 but I couldn't even afford renting a place for myself back then). One thing making me frustrated here in The Netherlands is the car unfriendliness and the fact they want to force people to cycle or park on the street etc. And no privacy, small plots. Yes, dreamy weather, but maybe a different type of compromise is better. I wonder if English is widely spoken in those small cities, like it is in Stockholm.
No, English is not spoken with ease - but people will make an effort to understand when you speak slowly and simply. Start with whatever Swedish sentences you can manage. Doing so, you establish a level playing field, which is so important in Sweden and all Nordic countries. You might speak with somebody who learned a little English long ago but haven't used English in ages. It is embarrassing that you can't come up with words which you actually feel you should know. We call it that one's language-skill has gotten "rusty" (rostig). BTW we are by and by soon transitioning to EVs all over the country.
Awesome video. Thank you also for looking at houses here in southern Sweden. I get the feeling that a lot of people from Germany, and the UK, and the Netherlands and so on believe that they have to go faaaar, faaar, faaar north to find cheap houses in Sweden, and that is simply not the case.
You made me feel like I have to live in Sweeden 🇸🇪. What a beautiful landscapes, gardens, houses (my favorite 17:27 house. Small but garden, and location looks better, and it has a lovely character). I have to find a swedish LOVE now 😍💛💙. By the way i recommend you if possible it will be better if you can check the distance of the houses to the nearest cities. Greetings from Antalya/Türkiye 🎉
great videos, its good thing you shared this insight. do you find cheap house in southern part, in skane. please help . planning to check and hunt house
Please slow down when showing real estate. You are flipping through the rooms too fast. Please pause longer on kitchens and bathrooms. BTW, I am a professional real estate broker and have sold many homes in 20 years. I really like your channel!
Thank you! I was thinking people could always pause the video if they wanted to focus on specific rooms, but you're right, it wouldn't hurt to slow things down a bit 😅
These wooden houses require maintenance especially if they were built a longtime ago! Living in such isolated places can be very depressing in the winter even one is introverted.
Mm.. but be aware that is a reason for that low prices! Often its about remot locations, no high salary jobs, long away frome kindergartens, shools, groceryshops, any other service! One need at least two sturdy cars for the parents, a snowmobile for the kids.. later an EPA-tractor for every kid!
Some information and tips when buying a house in Sweden. Now it is NOT quite true that the houses are cheaper in the north than in the south of Sweden, because now there are more vacant jobs in the north and more jobs are created in the north and then the prices of the houses go up. Then as I have mentioned before, so houses located further from major cities are cheaper than those located near or inside major cities. The further away, the lower the price, because people don't want to live too far away from the city itself. The tips. 1. What it says that you are asking for the house, let's say $60,000, you don't have to put that amount in your bid, but you may want to pay only $55,000. If no one outbids and the seller accepts the bid. 2. Look at how long the house has been for sale without receiving any offers, then it is easier to lower the price. 3. If you see that the broker has reduced the price of a house, it indicates that you really want the house sold, then you can actually haggle even more on the reduced price. Because the reduced price indicates that they have not received an offer for the house. 4. This may sound strange but is all the more important when it comes to wooden houses and it is to look if you see cobwebs, it is actually good if you find them, because it is a sign that the house does not have moisture damage. Because spiders do not thrive in damp environments. Now it's not certain if you see it, but be happy if you discover spiders rather than being disgusted.
Hi Dear, I observed your TH-cam Channel and analyze that your content qualities are great but the problem is that you are not getting views because of some problems.
@@LivingSwedish your real estate sector should lobby your government to make real estate and rights of residency a PACKAGE deal. otherwise. why would any sane foreign investor even bother. sweden is competing with other countries in this arena
@@WwoJakkk Of course you can live in it. You just can’t live in it permanently every day until you die unless you have the proper visa/residency, which is the same for all countries. But you can easily go back and forth and use it as a vacation home. A foreigner can’t just permanently move to the Us just because they bought a house in Iowa. lol
@@thehungrygoldfish real estate. unattractive without additional benefits such as residency rights. unless this is reformed, no investment takes place.
OK, but those houses are in the middle of nowhere really, I will use those sites to see houses or apartments in a city or on the vicinity of a city. We also have to consider all the taxes for a property that the State eventually steals from the owner to really evaluate the price of a property.
Of course, the taxes taken by the Government yearly for a house. A total steal from the effort of the citizens. How much would be that, and add it to the costs.
My apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina costs that much, in the middle of the city, and pure population. I was in Stockholm (only Stockholm I know) and I though I was in Senegal.
Just a suggestion: Stop showing prices in dollars! These places are more relevant to the European market, so use Swedish kroners and euros instead. Unless your intent is to have more Americans buy properties in Europe and eventually ruin the housing market 🙄

I'm not surprised due to illegal emigration.
It can also mean it's a vaction house or summer house if it's cheap (Fritidshus, sommarhus)
At 5:50 would be an old church, I live downstairs in a building like this, outside was very similar but where I live was bigger.
Nice you got some home even from my town.
Tack. So interesting. Thank you for showing prices in US dollars. 👍🏼
Last house was my favorite.

Thank you! 🙏
Love the house in Skane. That is my preferred area as well. Great video about houses in Sweden with your view on it. Thanks. Tack 🙏
Those houses are massive considering their prices!
It would be helpful to mention the closest city to each house in km and travel time.
Thanks for the feedback! I bear this in mind for the next video :)
great videos, its good thing you shared this insight. do you find cheap house in southern part, in skane. please help . planning to check and hunt house
You can find cheaper houses in Skåne as well.
Can you recommend an agent? I’m not having luck with the listed agents on Hemnet.
Is there a possibility of renting out these houses ... if you buy just for investment purpose... pls make a video about renting out houses also .😊
Thanks a lot for a very useful information,i shall contact you soon,with love from Tenerife,Olga
I see operating cost. What exactly is that?
Högakusten ligger ca 500 km norr Stockholm (the middel of sweden)
Do these houses have indoor plumbing?

You can buy a house without residency but if you can live in it or not that's another thing, of course.

OK, but those houses are in the middle of nowhere really, I will use those sites to see houses or apartments in a city or on the vicinity of a city. We also have to consider all the taxes for a property that the State eventually steals from the owner to really evaluate the price of a property.

Sure, anywhere you would find those prices for houses in the middle of nothing. I do not see either any advantage in those prices, AND the yearly tax.
My apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina costs that much, in the middle of the city, and pure population. I was in Stockholm (only Stockholm I know) and I though I was in Senegal.
@@BodySplendorChannelwhy?
The tax is 0.75% of the value. It is really low in Sweden.
Just a suggestion: Stop showing prices in dollars! These places are more relevant to the European market, so use Swedish kroners and euros instead. Unless your intent is to have more Americans buy properties in Europe and eventually ruin the housing market 🙄
Dollars is ~10% more than euro so the amounts are very comparable
Putting the price in US dollars on a TH-cam video isn't going to inflate the property market.
Why are you such an angry person? Its not that big of a deal. You act like conversion calculators don't exist.
