This shift brings more choices for local international residents. Finding a home in Copenhagen is usually very tough. Students and foreign workers often struggle to find stable housing. In Denmark, you need a valid address to get a CPR number. Without a CPR number, you cannot open a bank account or get healthcare.

A higher supply gives home seekers more time to look around. Landlords and sellers face more competition in the city now. This may help you negotiate better terms on your next move. However, rents and purchase prices in central areas remain high. Always verify housing offers to avoid common rental scams.
