The Nordic and Baltic Residential Markets: The Good, the Bad and the Regulated
Residential real estate is often described as a stable and defensive asset class, driven by urbanisation and long-term demographic trends. Yet in practice, housing is never just a market – it is a system, shaped by regulation, political choices and social priorities. This year’s edition of the Newsec Property Outlook therefore focuses on how different housing systems across the Nordics and Baltics produce very different outcomes, despite broadly similar macroeconomic conditions.
