Over five years an average villa in Vellinge has risen in value by just over two million kronor. This marks the highest increase recorded anywhere in Sweden according to a Fastighetsbyrån survey.
The average villa price in Vellinge now stands at 8.6 million kronor, representing a 31 percent rise. The municipality tops the national list thanks to its location near Malmö, Lund and Copenhagen together with a low supply of homes for sale. Karl-Fredrik Wahn at Svensk Fastighetsförmedling in Vellinge notes the steady climb. He highlights strong demand from families seeking safety and good school results. Activity picked up after credit-rule relaxations on 1 April. Between March and May 117 villas changed hands, nearly 40 more than in the preceding three-month period. Prices fell in every third Skåne municipality. Tomelilla recorded the steepest drop at minus nine percent.
