The Christian Democrats want to abolish the stamp duty on house purchases.
This would reduce the cost of a villa by up to 50,000 kronor, according to the party.
The Christian Democrats are presenting measures to increase housing construction during their half-day in Almedalen.
Sweden cannot afford to wait any longer for housing construction to resolve itself, says Minister for Housing Andreas Carlson (Christian Democrats).
The party wants, among other things, to completely abolish the stamp duty levied on property purchases. The duty is calculated on the purchase price.
According to Hans Eklind, economic policy spokesperson for the Christian Democrats, this could make a villa in Norrland 50,000 kronor cheaper.
For a Stockholm family, it could be up to 90,000 kronor for a normal villa.
The Christian Democrats also want to introduce a new state credit guarantee for housing in establishment and expansion municipalities. The current credit guarantee covers up to 22,000 kronor per square meter, while the Christian Democrats want to increase this to 40,000 kronor per square meter.
The party also wants to see a state rental income guarantee in growth municipalities.
The so-called Norrland Fund is also to be allocated more money, 500 million in 2025 and 1 billion in 2026, according to the party.
The proposals would cost a total of 3.9 billion next year, with the largest part being the abolition of the stamp duty.
The question will now be negotiated with the other Tidö parties. How they will stand on the issue remains to be seen, says the Minister for Housing.
We will prioritize this in the budget negotiations, says Carlson.
