Stockholm Housing Wait Times and New Homes

Stockholm's housing queue grew by 5,864 people from the new year until March 2026. The average waiting time for a home in the Stockholm region is 10.1 years, and a staggering 21.7 years in the inner city. However, during the first two months of the year, a couple hundred more homes were allocated than last year, mainly through the city's own companies, and 27 percent of these homes were allocated with a waiting time of less than four years.
