The number of houses for sale in Denmark in November 2025 was 12% lower than for the corresponding month a year earlier, new data from Finans Danmark has found.

As of the start of December, there were 28,416 houses listed for sale across Denmark, with the reduction in housing supply seen in all parts of the country.

It was most pronounced in Zeeland, the data showed, where supply in East Zealand and North Zealand has decreased by 32% and 23%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

House price increases

While supply has fallen, asking prices have risen, with the average asking price for a house of 140 square metres standing at DKK 3.1 million at the start of December, an increase of 8.5% on the same time last year.

According to Finans Danmark, asking prices have risen by approximately DKK 675 per day, nationwide.

House price increases have been recorded in most regions, apart from West Jutland, where prices have fallen, year-on-year, by approximately DKK 80 per day.

As the data shows, the largest house price increases were recorded in Copenhagen, where the average price rose by close to DKK 1.3 million over the past year, equivalent to around DKK 3,500 per day.

‘A clear division’

“Over the past year, we have seen a clear division of the housing market,” commented Peter Jayaswal, deputy director of mortgage credit and property financing at Finans Danmark.

“East of the Storebælt, asking prices for houses have increased significantly, with double-digit percentage increases in most places – in fact, equivalent to almost DKK 1,500 per day. West of the Storebælt, the development has been much more subdued, where house prices have only increased by around DKK 140 per day, and in some places they have even fallen.”

Jayaswal added that there are around twice as many houses for sale west of the Storebælt, compared to east of it, which explains the difference.

“At the same time, the Danish economy is strong, and households generally have solid finances – this means that interest in home purchases remains high, even though prices have increased,” he added. Read more here.
