The prices of old detached houses in Finland have continued to decline for the third year, with a national decrease of 6.1% in 2025 from the previous year.
In Finland, the prices of old detached houses have been on a downward trend for three consecutive years, despite a slight increase in sales activity towards the end of last year. According to Elina Peltoniemi, chief statistician at Statistics Finland, the prices of detached houses dropped by 6.1% nationwide in 2025 compared to the previous year. This decline is part of a longer trend that has been ongoing since 2022.
The most significant drop in prices has been observed in Eastern Finland, where detached house prices have plummeted by a quarter over the span of three years. In contrast, other areas of the country have experienced a price fall ranging from 15% to 20%. Notably, while prices in larger cities have also decreased, the declines have been less pronounced than in smaller municipalities, with a roughly 5% drop in major urban centers compared to a year earlier.
Towards the end of last year, there was a slight uptick in the sale of detached houses, particularly between October and December. However, the overall trend indicates a challenging market for sellers, especially in rural areas and smaller towns, where price declines are more significant, highlighting regional disparities in the housing market across Finland.
