Same price

I decided to compare what you can get in Stockholm to what you can get in one of the most northern towns in Sweden – Luleå for the same price.  It turns out that for 680,000 kr (or 84,000 U.S. Dollars) you can get this one-room apartment 20 minutes outside of Stockholm: Or for the [...]

Wednesday update

It looks like we won’t find out anything about the apartments we applied for until Monday at the earliest, so in the meantime we are still checking our usual lists.   Since today is Wednesday, there is a list of new apartments, but nothing for us.  The only 4 room is too expensive – good floorplan [...]

Is it sticky?

Saw an apartment listed for sale today on Sirapsvägen  (Syrup Street!).  I think I would like to live there just for the funny street name. For a while, I thought the pictures of the apartment were going to be normal, but the last picture was the one below.  WHY? WHY ? WHY?   A rose?  Is [...]

A little fixer-upper

I found a bargain yesterday on the apartments for sale in Stockholm.  This one is only 735000 SEK  (or 90,000 U.S. Dollars).  It needs a little work. Yes, the apartment situation here is so bad that they take old storage space in attics, sell it for 90,000 U.S. Dollars, and you can fix it into [...]

The Wednesday update

There are no 4 room apartments at all today on the list that comes out each Wednesday.  Very depressing. And in city line news, there is nothing new for us, but on the 2 apartments we applied for weeks ago, we are number 74 and number 80!  So if 73 or 79 people decide they [...]
