Episode notes
Beware Market Hype and Interest Rates
- The housing market is fast, but one should avoid rushing due to hype.
- Rising long-term interest rates in the US add an element of uncertainty about future price developments.
Interest Rates Yet to Hit Prices
- Danish home prices haven't yet been affected by rising US long-term interest rates.
- Prices would need significant interest hikes (over 5%) before impacting the market substantially.
Rapid Price Growth in Copenhagen
- Property prices in Copenhagen rose 6.8% in four months, implying a 21.8% annualized rise if trend continues.
- This means buyers risk paying about 85% of their annual income just in rent if the trend holds.
