The public statistics from Statistics Sweden do not cover tenant-owned apartments. However, it is well known from other sources that prices on tenant-owned apartments increased much more than on one-family homes. Some sources shows that prices on apartments increased on average with around +8% until September 2013, which is more than double compared to one-family homes.
