House prices in Denmark expected to rise 8.6 percent this year

Buying a home in Denmark will become more expensive this year.

Nationalbanken expects Danish house prices to rise by 8.6 percent in 2026.

The central bank raised its housing forecast compared to its spring report.

Prices are also expected to rise by 4.6 percent in 2027.

Stronger price growth reflects lower investment in new housing construction.

This lack of investment limits the number of new homes available.

As a result, restricted housing supply continues to drive prices higher.

Nationalbanken also forecasts the Danish economy to grow four percent this year.
