Gothenburg

📊 Gothenburg Market Analysis

Buying a home in Gothenburg comes with costs that never appear in the listing price. Closing costs run 2.0% of the purchase price (kr90,000), annual property taxes are 0.75%, and maintenance averages 1% per year. For someone staying less than 3 years, these unrecoverable costs add up to approximately kr432,750 per year — before you even account for selling fees of 6%. In Gothenburg, these friction costs tilt the math firmly toward renting for anyone without a 10+ year horizon. The calculator below lets you see exactly when buying overtakes renting for your situation.
