Overall apartment sales declined by around 14 percent across Finland in March, year-on-year, according to the Federation of Real Estate Agency (KVKL).
KVKL reported that sales of old stock apartments in March were 12.6 percent lower than the same month last year.
At the same time, purchases of newly-built apartments were less than half of what they were in March 2025.
Apartment sale prices continued to decline in the capital region, but prices leveled out in other parts of the country, according to a KVKL press release.
The federation's directing manager, Tuomas Viljamaa, attributed the price decline in Helsinki region to oversupply.
"There is a historically large number of apartments for sale and rent. In addition to those, there are thousands of vacant right-of-occupancy apartments in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area," Viljamaa said in the release.
