House Prices in Finland

The latest IMF report on Finland says:
  • "Meanwhile, the housing market has cooled and standard metrics suggest that average house prices are broadly in line with fundamentals."

  • "Separately, measures in the reform program to stimulate housing construction should help ease constraints on regional labor mobility. Planned measures include easing requirements for state-subsidized housing construction, reducing restrictions on land use, and streamlining aspects of the permitting and development process."
