Finland’s housing market recorded fewer transactions in February 2026, yet price indicators in large cities showed signs of recovery after a prolonged decline. Data from the Finnish Association of Real Estate Agencies points to weak consumer confidence while wage growth and lower property values improved affordability for buyers. A total of 4,039 housing transactions took place across Finland in February. The figure marks a decline of 9.4 per cent from the same month in 2025. The data includes both new and existing homes reported to the KVKL price monitoring service.
