Not surprised at all tbh because you don’t have a competitive housing market due to lack of housing.

Could it be due to a lack of faith in future income? Our employment situation is, in lack of a more appropriate term, shit. Who knows where it’ll go from here.
I have absolutely zero debt, but if I felt totally sure that that an income of *X* € a month was to be expected for the next 20 or so years, I would also dare to take on debt to buy a home.

True in a way, as Swedes and Norwegians get 50 year loans for their houses that they never even pay back in full.
In Finland we get 25-30 years and getting a loan is a pain.

Why do you keep posting anything even slightly positive from the Finnish economy, even when we all know that it is not the case?

Almost everyone in Finland is poor, how come they would have big loans?

Because we just stay in our caves and fight off the bears and wolves with knives, then sauna and makkara. Seems obvious? (Actually, financial literacy is very high here and no culture of „keeping up with the Jones’s).

Stockholm has housing bubble. Even doctors and lawyers live in 60sqm flats 25min subway trip from centre.

Few really high income jobs and modest payback times, so most Finns can’t go too deep into debt.

Thats also because the income is higher in those other countries, so people can take on higher debt. Of course switzerland, luxemburg and norway citizens will spend more on mortgages than for example people from vietnam or chile, because they simply have more money to spend
