How much does a one-room apartment cost in your country? In Sweden it costs 4k USD

How much does a one-room apartment cost in your country? In Sweden it costs 4k USD.

Again, anon?

Is that renting or owning

Is this a joke? Owning of course.

In Sweden it costs 4k USD.

Why is it so expensive? Even in London, a studio/1 bedroom apartment usually costs something like £1500-£2000 a month.

There's no fucking jobs in shitholes like this you disingenuous faggot. It's like those delapitated country houses in Italy where the state will outright pay you to live there. It's like a russian posting a listing of a Siberian shed costing 500 rubles and a fresh cod

Then that's cheap as fuck

That's the cost to buy the apartment.

Still far better priced than our equivalent of near abandoned towns. Still gotta drop like 30k for a house in dead towns here.

between that and the women ? you can't suffer in sweden

Fagersta is a locality and the seat of Fagersta Municipality in Västmanland County, Sweden, with 11,130 inhabitants in 2010.[1]

If you're gonna live in a village, why would you want to live in a commie block?

11k people still counts as a town (tätort) here.
Here's our top 20 largest cities for reference.

Bullshit, no way that's true when even here in a 15k town a single room apartments are 150k+

Works if you're a remote worker

Gothenburg, Nebraska

are those apartments in no-go zones?
If not, you truly cannot svffer in Sverige...

no-go zones?

Never had those. Also no, just smaller town areas.

Swedes have cheaper real estates than Poopland

it's so over...

Such is life with government rent control.
People kinda lose the reason to buy a home when renting is dirt cheap so properties remain cheap (outside of popular areas/main cities).

if you're willing to live where hell freezes over can be as low as40k usd
but you're having $500/month condo fee on top of that
but a mid tier city people want to live in would be starting at >Went from 7.8% foreign born to 10.6% foreign born from 2022 to 2023.

they want to be like Larry bird

I met a person from there once and definitely can tell the place was settled by Swedes. Very light blonde hair

MissPhilly.png - 712x1160, 1.27M

Honestly not sure what to buy.
I work 100% from home and can't decide on spending €2k - €4k on an apartment or €20k - €30k in a house is the best for me.

Hate making decisions.

Can I buy it and move there?

I'm looking at properties now and I will probably look at this place next week. Asking price of $30k.
Fully renovated in 2013. It's even in my area so moving would be dead simple.

hmm.jpg - 2172x2544, 2.71M

Literally can't suffer in Sweden. 30k isnt even enough for a down payment on a house here.

It's true, you can look it up on booli.se

Keep in mind that Sneeden is very poor with high taxes and low wages so our housing costs are also lower.

Gothenburg, Nebraska

VGH...........my ancestvrs

my apartment is around 500k usd nowadays but it has 3 rooms. rooms are not that big tho

in my 10k hometown which is shithole in my country which is shithole, apartments are around 1000€/m2

How do people even afford that, huge loans?

i just sold mine for 2 750 00nok in trondheim and i felt it was 300k
too cheap. but whatever, i still made money on it.

Here, a dilapidated 50 year old commieblock in Dunaújváros (which used to be called Stalin city, built around a Soviet steel mill, that has since gone defunct, which should tell you everything), also in the middle of fucking nowhere costs 20x that.

it's gastarbeiter region, so lot of people go work for few months abroad or have family abroad (mostly in Germany/Austria), so they have money, or they inherit property, or they just sell one to buy another.
Common people working locally will never be able to buy their own place, they either rent or, more commonly, live with their parents.

swapped it for a house i paid 500 00nok for, just saying. and i made 400k nok from that deal.

tfw my 2 room, 68 sqm, roof top apartment in the middle of my town is worth less than my old €6k car

i never got this? how do young swedes build wealth? here we buy housing or property. monthly loan and mortgage = rent, might as well buy it. and you get the profit once you sell it. and once you sell unless you are so fuckin stupid you buy in the city you can affor a house in the countryside.
i did, bought apartment for 1,3million NOK, sold for 2,7, bought house for 500k. debt free for the rest of my life.

Damn that sucks. Kinda like Gotland where 95% of homes are just passed down from parents to children and only the richest can afford to buy their way in.

how can you live in a society where there's literally nothing to do? its just trees bike paths and these commie blockhouse buildings as far as the eye can see

how do young swedes build wealth?

Stock market index funds. We learn about them in econ class and everyone is obsessed with buy-and-holding global stock market index funds.

how do young swedes build wealth?

By risking everything on the stockmarket and shit.
But the absolute majority don't "build wealth". We just work and live on our average Swedish salary and pray that the pension system survives until we reach retirement age (67 now).

how do young swedes build wealth?

That's the funny thing.
We don't.

once you sell unless you are so fuckin stupid you buy in the city you can affor a house in the countryside

Houses are so cheap in rural areas here that even poor fucks like me can afford it. For example

Would a Norwegian woman marry an American man if one such man was to move to Bergen

67 is kinda early isnt it? dad is 73 he still does logging and farming and could probably kick my ass if he wanted, and i fear he want...
we never learned anything about stocks in school, never anything about investments or funds or its like.

We don't build wealth anon. Ok a few might gamble with stocks and investments but unless you go full in there's basically no profit in property.
Our best bet is to simply get the highest paying job possible and save as much as possible.
I bought my first apartment for 66k SEK and four years later I sold it for 58k SEK and it took almost a year for it to sell..
My house now cost me 440k SEK and I might get my money back if I sell it. But not the money I spent on fixing the place up. Never getting that back.

67 is kinda early isnt it?

Not with the over 50% of the population being overweight and the healthcare system getting worse and worse everyday.

Property in Siberia costs more that property in European Russia though. My 60 sq.m. apartment in a town with 150k people costs about $150k which can buy you an apartment of the same size in a mid-tier neighborhood of Moscow (or two at the outskirts).

the bergen dialect is so repulsive that any woman there would want to marry an outsider. but you would find their language so bad you rather move back and marry shackesha from elementary.

the healthcare system getting worse and worse everyday

Why? What are the problems?

And the rest

Show me the school rating of all those areas.

Massimmigration, Sweden used to have the best healthcare system in the world but not anymore.

how can you sell an apartment with a loss? doesnt make sense.
i feel your market capped rent deal actually work against you. free market here. so far its been to my profit.

school rating

Only idiots not homeschool their children.
And specifically?

Basically our current government decides to cut all healthcare budgets basically into nothing.
As a result there's been massive layoffs, thousands upon thousands of nurses, doctors and specialists have lost their jobs.
And as a result, many hospitals have downsized and even closed down.

Waiting times for even the most basic shit is several weeks now, non-emergency surgeries can be 6-12 months and the quality of care is dropping dramatically.

And with immigrants flooding to every emergency room and health clinic for the most pointless crap everyday, it just keeps getting worse.

People are going in with broken bones, get denied treatment because "meh, probably a bruised muscle" doctors ignore them and send them home with some painkillers etc.
Calling the emergency number for chest pain? Probably an anxiety attack, breath a little lol, goodbye.

This is why I got a private doctor at a fancy clinic.
Expensive as fuck but at least they give a damn and are always available.

how can you sell an apartment with a loss?

No choice since I was moving. I can't control the housing market, properties more often lose value than gain it here today.

1$

based anti-capitalism seller

I see. Grim. Germans seek to privatize medicine too, I wonder if it will come out just like that or at least more organized.

First few links I clicked for school ratings include "diversity" as a metric. After some research they all seem to offer AP courses, courses you can take to get college credit while still in high school, so should be good enough to get into any university with enough diligence

irnmtnHS.jpg - 3977x2652, 1017.39K

We see private clinics pop up pretty often now. And more and more jobs offer health insurance benefits for private care.
No idea where it will end up but the old system is probably dead and gone forever.

How good is their football team?

be me

slip on stairs around Christmas because of ice

feel something snap in my knee

instant blazing pain and swelling

neighbor drives me to the hospital ER

leg is just throbbing and left knee is double the size

wait 11 HOURS before a doctor finally sees me

he's some immigrant with a thick gold chain and heavy accent I can barely understand

he prods and pokes a little

wait another three hours for xrays

he barely looks at them when done

get sent home with painkillers after being told it's a bad sprain

two days later, knee is so swollen my foot is losing sensation

back to emergency room

repeat everything but old Swedish boomer doctor this time

"anon, you have a completely torn ligament and it needs surgery"

ah..

Still not fucking healed properly. The extra time did more damage..

village commieblock

Literally why

fuck that is a nice house? how is it so cheap? literally you couldn't build that shit at cost even with east euro wages (paid under the table) and shoddy materials

Cannot escape the commieblocks here anon.
Middle of nowhere? Commieblock.

Hovås.jpg - 1920x1080, 645.38K

Built in 1910, renovated multiple times, last time in 2013.
It's basically the most average Swedish house you can buy. Solid and normal sized.

No jobs there

Looks like they went 12-1 last year, with their loss coming in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs versus the eventual champions. Because of low population they are in one of the smallest divisions in that state so they are ranked #142 in the state. Seems like a solid school

properties more often lose value than gain it here today

again, makes no sense. its around 3% annual increase in value here.

how is it so cheap?

Already been mentioned a bunch of times but property is not worth much outside of the big cities.

makes no sense

Everything is getting more expensive. People can't afford expensive homes. If you wanna sell you gotta dump the price.

a single room apartment is 55k USD in my city, i guess it's something like 30 m2.

the problem with this idea is that getting a bank loan on a house means you leverage your investment by going into debt - which is fine since real estate pretty much only goes up, so youll out earn someone who invests his money in stocks, even if stocks have better returns

just live in a no go zone with grenade attacks and car burnings

hich is fine since real estate pretty much only goes up

That would require you to live in the bigger cities and they are WAY more expensive than the homes posted in this thread.

no go zone with grenade attacks and car burnings

All of Sweden?

i feel your market capped rent deal actually work against you. free market here. so far its been to my profit.

norwegians profiteer in human misery and trade in human flesh, exploiting the necessities of human living to fill their pockets from the tears of the working class

thankfully here in sweden capitalism is dead and buried, hell löfven

3% appreciation is really bad. There are savings accounts that give you 3% today.

in what universe does any of those qualify as commieblock. get a load of this spoiled firstie.

socialblox.jpg - 1920x781, 430.73K

This neighborhood is better than 99% of the world.

i feel your market capped rent deal actually work against you

Not for me as a renter.
Pay €546/month for my 45m2 apartment here in central Uppsala.

still makes no sense. if you gotta afford that house in spain or that yacht, you dont sell your house for cheap? its whats gonna pay for it, if everything has gotten more expensive so has the house and so has the yacht.

Well people have to move sometimes and it's either selling for a loss or not sell at all. But if you don't sell you can't afford to move so...

lets take an example from many of my coworkers

equivalent apartment as me

maintence fee + interest is more than my rent

make less returns on housing going up than I do on random funds

i can sell part of my investments at any time, they can only cash out by moving somewhere else

if the rest of the market also went up, their new house will be more expensive so they only make money by selling for more than they're buying

61 m2 for €700 here, 20 minutes from central station and 11 minutes from work (9 if i bike hard as fuck)
god i love bostadsköer

but you still have to pay rent... there are savings accunts i look at that offer 15% yeah i believ that when i see it.

in stockholm i meant

Still its insanely low. Just for context, a partial rebuild of my bathroom (replacing some pipes and retiling 2 walls and the floor) cost me 3k EUR. The whole bathroom would've cost me double that.

A home is not supposed to be a prime investment

I somehow got lucky and got my place in just two months. 10-12 minute walk from work and the bus is pretty much around the corner. My only complaints is the shitty radiators. Gets a bit chilly in the winter.

7 years in queue right now and i still can’t get anything good in gothenburg atleast kinda central. It fucking SUCKS

But you still have to make mortgage payments plus property tax and maintenance if you own.

in stockholm

Cheaper than I thought. Always heard horror stories of the rent in Stockholm.

A home is not supposed to be a prime investment

It'd be nice if that's how everyone thought.

I was not as quick, I was in queue for 12 years lol, but maybe I could have gotten successful before that, i lived at home or in student housing before I got this apartmnet

Fagersta is a shithole full of immigrants, nobody wants to live there.

shithole full of immigrants

Every city in the country. It's mainly job opportunities that are lacking.

Fagersta isn't majority Swedish, most cities are.

and? these equal rent cost here. only if you bought housing for 1,3 mill nok as did, i will only pay debt and expences based on 1,3 mill, that was my loan with the bank. i never paid them for more than that. in the meantime, the bank saw holy fuck this proerty is skyrocketing in value, so i bought a volvo on it, i fixed the kitchen on it further increasing its value, bought a van and started on my own, bougt a house. and i still sold the apartment with profit.

look tiny pic

Ahh. Another Finn thread

Open up and its a swede

Every fucking time, We are not little-sweden or österland

You only exist as an independent country because you were lucky once and no one bothered correcting the situation because it wasn't worth the little trouble it'd take.

1200-3000 CAD rent depending on how nice it is

We were not independed from the start because clearly "civilization" came from around the mediterranean and weeped us from both side when sweden and russia had already gave up their paganism.
Geopolitical location back then couldnt literally be worse, Sweden and Russia became both superpowers and wev been middle of west and east since.
