Housing costs can vary in Sweden, depending on the standard and geographical location. Availability of housing is much lower in the larger cities, and prices are above average.

You are most likely to find somewhere to live via daily newspapers. Depending on the kind of housing you choose (renting or buying), you can also contact local or regional property owners, both private and municipal. Certain municipalities have their own housing agencies. You can find the various bodies concerned in, among other places, the Gula Sidor (yellow pages), under Hus och hem/Bostadsföretag (House and Home/Housing Companies) and Bostadsförmedling (Housing Agencies).
