Dagens Nyheter addresses a recent fall in prices, while E24 reports in increase during the last quarter of the year in its headline.

- The highest increase in housing price in Sweden in recent decade: 218% in Göteborg
- The highest increase in villa price in Sweden in recent decade: 131% in Malmö
E24: Compared to last year, house prices have increased:
