Welcome to Finland

Tervetuloa!

Situated between Russia and Sweden, Finland has traditionally had an important wood processing industry, but nowadays its high-technology achievements are recognized worldwide. Finns, speak one of the country´s two official languages: Finnish or Swedish. A land of thousands of lakes and huge pine and spruce forests, Finland boasts one of the cleanest environments in the world. Finns are used to space and being close to the nature: there are only 15 persons per square mile. Lapland offers a somewhat different landscape, with its treeless mountains, reindeers and other curiosities like the midnight sun in June and the "ruska"--northern forests glowing with autumn tints. Finns are great lovers of sauna, which is not such a wonder when one considers the pitch-dark polar nights during the whole period of the cold winter. There are over 2 million saunas in a country of slightly over 5 million inhabitants.

Real Estate in Finland

Although almost 40% of Austrians own their own home, compared to other members of the European economic and monetary union, the mobility of Austrian households is quite low, with just over 40,000 homes being sold each year. Real estate professionals are used in about 30% of the sales.
