About this home
Below is presented a long-term stable and strategically located residential portfolio in Karlstad, a
municipality that for many years has shown clear and positive development in both
population growth and economic activity. Karlstad continues to strengthen its position as one
of central Sweden's most attractive regional centres, where a growing labour market and a
varied business community drive continuously high demand for housing. The region serves as
Värmland's natural hub for trade, logistics, education and community development, which
creates a secure foundation for investments in the residential sector. The portfolio comprises four fully
rentable residential properties located in attractive and established areas.
The stock is complemented by parking spaces, garages and carports, which strengthens cash flow
and broadens the revenue base. The combined net operating income amounts to approximately SEK 2.47 million plus a further probable rent increase of approx. 3.5% for 2026.
The valuation is based on a yield of 4.60 percent, corresponding to a market value of approximately
SEK 53.8 million. The portfolio combines stable and predictable income with a low
vacancy rate and clear potential for both value-adding development and improved rent levels.
This makes the portfolio attractive to investors seeking security, diversification and long-term
growth in a region with documented positive development.
