Slutpris

The only price that is real

The slutpris (final price) is what the buyer and seller end up agreeing on and sign in the köpekontrakt (purchase contract). Everything else (the utgångspris, or asking price, an accepted price, a valuation) is a guess or a negotiating position. The slutpris is the only price that actually happened.

Not always the same as the last bid

The last bid in a budgivning (bidding process) often lands close to the slutpris, but the two need not be identical. The price can still be adjusted after the bidding ends, for example if a survey turns up something that lowers the value. For a bostadsrätt (cooperative apartment), where there is no public registry of sales, the last open bid is often used as a good estimate of the slutpris.

To put the level in perspective: an average bostadsrätt in Sweden sold for around 2.8 million kr during 2024, roughly 4 percent more than the year before.

How to use it

Look at slutpriser for similar homes in the same area, not at the asking price. Final prices show what people actually pay, which is the best measure of what a home is worth and what you are likely to need to bid to win. The utgångspris only tells you where the bidding starts.
