I doubt that the house would be 4 million. Thanks to reducing population, increased building and housing. Plus who knows how the weather will be, I'm not sure that owning a house is the right thing in 20 years.

    This is perfect. It’ll make my land worth that much more! Just have to be careful to only buy land 2.4m above sea level.

      Yeah hope you plan to hold for 100 years.

        Humans build houses with their children and grandchildren in mind. Holding to land for 100 years and longer is not that an uncommon thing.

When I lived on Amager about six years ago, the prices were definitely around the 3-4 million mark in the suburbs. Prices fell somewhat once you got out of Copenhagen, but it was still ludicrously expensive. Are you saying the prices droppped sharply the last 5-6 years?

  No. But I probably should have been more clear. I mean, first of all, there are more cities than Copenhagen. I have a 3 room 92m^2 apartment that is 15 minute walking distance from Aarhus H that cost us 2.2 million. Secondly, I’d personally call a place like Valby “downtown” Copenhagen even though it would probably be more correct to label it surburbia like you do.

    I wouldn't call Valby suburbia, although it'd definitely a suburb. The real Copenhagen suburbian hell start out at Kastrup, Glostrup, Ballerup, Lyngby and thereabouts. Of course, there are other Danish cities than Copenhagen, and prices do vary. The parent comment I replied to simply stated that there are no 4M DKK houses, which simply isn't true.

Denmark's population went up by more than 15% in the past 30 years, FYI :)
