But there is data of how many refugees entered Sweden in the 90s, it was roughly a hundred thousand a year then just like in the recent years. Did you read any of the links SiemperVernes linked to? You also say that you don't believe refugees could cut the line to public housing, did you check at all to find out if that was the case? Did you also cross check with SCB to find out how many new houses were built, since that statistics stretches well past the Million program more than 50 years ago? It even stretches back before WWII.

Or is your personal belief based on your gut feeling?
And, when you say that "they correlate well", what time period are you then looking at? And what data? Because immigration decreased in the mid 2000s while the housing prices increased. No offense, but it looks like your analytical method is "there's lots of newspaper articles about refugees these days, and lots of newspaper articles about rising housing prices, one of them must the main cause of the other". I might as well say "there's lots of articles about smartphones lately while the housing prices are increasing, maybe smartphones lets us live alone more effectively meaning that we take up more space when everyone gets their own apartment instead of a room mate".
