The number of owner-occupied apartments available for sale in Denmark has seen a significant decline, shrinking by nearly 28% compared to the same time last year, according to a statement from Finans Danmark, the interest organization for financial and mortgage institutions. As of the end of January, there were 4,515 apartments listed nationwide, indicating a tightening market that may affect prospective buyers.

In contrast to the drop in available units, the average asking prices for these apartments have risen by nearly 14% over the same period, suggesting that demand may still outstrip supply in many areas. This price increase is consistent across the country, which can put financial pressure on homebuyers looking for ownership opportunities in a competitive market.

Particularly notable is the situation in Aarhus, where the number of owner-occupied apartments for sale has plummeted by an astounding 59% over the past year. Similar trends are observed in the capital, Copenhagen, where listings are down by 26%, and Frederiksberg with a 19% decrease. These statistics reflect broader housing market pressures and may have implications for both future developments and the economic landscape in Denmark.
