About Solhemmet

A Changing World

The number of elderly is increasing dramatically. The 80+ age group is growing by 40% between 2024–2034, and the 65+ group is increasing by nearly 20% over the same period. During this same period, the working-age population has low growth (3%). Housing chains in society have stagnated due to tax effects (capital gains tax), and the fact is that few municipalities can offer attractive housing options such as senior condominiums and sheltered housing (rental) — homes people actually want to move to, so they don't feel like they're moving away from what they love! At Solhemmet, we answer that need!
