How it works

  1. 1

    Describe what you're looking for

    Draw your areas on the map and set price, size and property type. Separate what is a requirement from what is merely a wish.

  2. 2

    Get scored matches

    Every new home is compared against your profile and gets a match percentage, so you can see straight away what's worth a closer look.

  3. 3

    Hear about it and act faster

    You get a daily summary of new hits – including homes that aren't publicly listed yet.

What does the match % mean?

The match percentage shows how well a home fits your profile, on a scale from 0 to 100%. It is built from two kinds of criteria: your requirements and your wishes.

Requirements – decide whether it matches at all

The things you can't compromise on, such as a maximum price or which area it has to be in. A home that breaks a requirement doesn't match, however good it is otherwise.

Wishes – decide how high it lands

The things you'd like: a balcony, a lift, an extra room. Fulfilled wishes raise the percentage and missing ones lower it, but they never block a match.

From 85% we call it a perfect match, from 70% a strong match and from 55% a partial match. Below 55% no match label is shown at all. The percentage exists to help you prioritise – it doesn't replace your own judgement.

How a match is presented

92%
  • Inside the area you drew
  • Price below your ceiling
  • At least 3 rooms
  • Balcony
  • No lift – a wish that pulls the percentage down

Why not just watch Hemnet?

A portal alert sends everything that happens to fit a filter, as listings get published. A SökHem alert starts from you, scores the hits and includes homes that aren't listed yet.

With SökHem

  • You're matched against upcoming homes too – private sellers can be matched to your alert before the listing goes public.
  • Every hit is scored against your requirements and wishes, not just a yes or no from a filter.
  • It's all in one place: listings we gather broadly from the market plus homes sold directly here.
  • Alerts and matching are free, however many homes you're matched with.

With an ordinary portal alert

  • You only see a home once the listing is published.
  • Hits are unsorted – the filter says yes or no, not how good the fit is.
  • You have to watch each site separately and piece the result together yourself.
  • Homes sold without an agent don't show up at all.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The account, the alert and the matching cost nothing, and there are no fees or commissions for you as a buyer. What can cost money on SökHem are optional services when you sell a home yourself.

A portal alert fires when a listing is published and matches against a filter. SökHem starts from your profile, scores every home against your requirements and wishes, also includes homes sold directly by private sellers here – including before they go public – and collects the hits into one summary.

The match percentage shows how well a home fits your profile, from 0 to 100%. Requirements decide whether it matches at all; wishes decide how high the percentage lands. From 85% it's a perfect match, from 70% a strong match and from 55% a partial match.

New hits are collected into a daily summary sent in the morning, rather than one email per home. The summary goes out by email and you can add browser push notifications. If you'd rather not get notifications at all you can turn them off – the alert keeps matching and the hits stay available inside SökHem.

Yes. Homes that private sellers put up here can be matched to your alert before they're published openly. They're not in the ordinary search results – they reach you through the matching.

No. You create an account with an email address or with Google. BankID isn't required to create an alert or to be matched.

Yes. One alert can cover several areas – draw them on the map or add several places – and you can run several alerts in parallel, for example one per place or one per property type.
