    This Swedish advertisement shows 2000 applicants for an apartment. Denmark has similar housing queues, as does the Netherlands. If the price is below market price, then there will always be a queue or lottery as more people can afford to apply.

    These countries often have strict land controls, which means that even if a new build is profitable, you wouldn’t get approval for it anyway.
