In November 2025, prices rose for all three types of home, and buyers remain active. From October to November, house prices rose by 0,9 %, owner-occupied flats by 0,9 % and holiday homes by 1,8 %.
A standard 150 m² house cost 2,776 million kr., an 80 m² owner-occupied flat 3,111 million kr., and a standard 80 m² holiday home 1,885 million kr.
Even the monthly rise is noticeable in kroner. House prices rose 0,9 % in one month, which is equivalent to about 24.000 kr. for a standard detached house. Over a year, the house is about 231.000 kr. more expensive.
The outlook points the same way. Danske Bank’s economists expect house prices to rise by 6,3 % in 2026, compared with 5,9 % in 2025, and by 3,7 % on average in 2027. So prices are still rising, which gives you a solid starting point if you are thinking of putting your home up for sale.
Selling your home in November: prices are pointing up
In the Greater Copenhagen area, prices took an extra jump in November. House prices rose 2,3 % in a single month, while owner-occupied flats rose by 1,1 %. In Københavns Kommune, the rise was more modest, at 0,7 %.
House prices went from 17.690 kr. per m² in January 2025 to 18.918 kr. per m² in November 2025, a rise of 6,9 % over the period.
Owner-occupied flats have seen the fastest growth. Flat prices rose 13,2 % from January to November, and an 80 m² owner-occupied flat cost 391.000 kr. more in November than in January. In Københavns Kommune the increase was even sharper: flat prices there rose 19,4 %, so an 80 m² flat became 880.000 kr. more expensive between January and November.
If you are thinking of selling your home in November, this means you are going into the sale at a time when the market has been moving upwards all year. Whether that makes it the best time to sell a house depends on your home, your town and your own timing.
Advantages of selling your home in winter
Many people think winter is a bad time to sell, but the figures from 2025 tell a different story.
-
Viewings fell 1,2 % from October to November 2025, while sales rose 0,6 %. The homes that do come onto the market sell quickly, because buyers do not have much to choose from.
-
Holiday home prices rose 7,4 % from January to November 2025, so the old rule of thumb about prices falling in winter did not hold in 2025.
-
Flat sales in the first 11 months of 2025 were 27,5 % higher than in the same period the year before and are expected to match the record year of 2021.
-
Winter buyers often have a deadline, such as a lease that is running out, a job relocation or a home they have already sold, and that can lead to quicker decisions.
When should I sell my home? How to judge the timing
The calendar gives a fairly concrete answer to when you should sell your home. The market starts to slow towards the end of November, so the rule of thumb is clear: put your home up for sale before 15 November or wait until January. December and January are the slowest months, with times on the market of 150-300+ days. If you get started too late, it can pay to wait until the new year rather than putting your home on the market in the middle of the Christmas lull.
Price matters more than the season, though. A home priced 5-10 % above market value takes on average 60-90 days longer to sell, so realistic pricing is more important than hitting exactly the right month. A sharp price in December beats an optimistic price in May.
| Time to sell | Time on the market |
|---|---|
| The number of days from when the home was put up for sale until it was registered as sold | The number of days the home has currently been for sale |
| Does not change | Goes up every day |
On Boligsiden (a Danish property portal) you can see two different times on the market. Current time on the market (aktuel liggetid) shows the days with the current estate agent, while total time on the market (samlet liggetid) covers all the days with every estate agent within 3 years. Changing estate agent does not reset the total time on the market, so buyers can still see it.
Selling a property in winter: how to prepare your home
The dark months place different demands on your home than spring does. Here are the three areas that matter most.
-
Switch on every lamp, including in cupboards and the basement, and use warm light. Keep the curtains open in daylight so that your home feels inviting during the dark months.
-
Prioritise viewings in daylight. Turn up the heating before the viewing, and make sure paths are cleared and gritted and the outdoor lights are on.
-
Have the documentation for the energy label ready. It becomes more relevant in winter, when the cold lets buyers judge the insulation, windows, boiler and hot water tank.
Winter buyers often have a deadline and fewer homes to choose from, so a home that comes across as clean, warm and ready to move into can attract a serious offer more quickly.
Selling your home in November: your next step
In November 2025, prices rose for houses, owner-occupied flats and holiday homes, and economists expect further increases in 2026.
At the same time, you should not expect December and January to move as fast as the autumn. On the other hand, a sale in November can still reach the buyers who are active before Christmas, especially if your home is realistically priced. Many sellers wait until spring, so your home faces less competition over the winter.
