Sweden’s apartment prices experienced their largest monthly fall in almost three years, adding to signs that households in the largest Nordic nation are turning more cautious.

Last month, the average price of apartments fell 1.5% compared to June — the biggest decline since September 2022 — and decreased by 0.1% compared to a year ago, according to data published Friday by Svensk Maklarstatistik, owned by the Swedish Association of Real Estate Agents. Prices for single-family homes still rose 0.4% on month, it said.
