According to some specialists, housing prices are likely to decrease due to the worsening economic outlook and tight financial markets. 
Some others, however, estimate a clear increase in prices in the growth cities, due to the strong demand and continuous internal migration (1). According to the forecasts of Pellervo Economic Research PTT, housing prices will decline by 1.8% in 2012. The housing market is supported by the healthy Finnish banks as well as slight increase in household income (2). However, there is a lot of uncertainty related to the outlook after 2012 (3). If the euro area’s crisis will be solved efficiently,that might stimulate the housing markets markedly (4). However, some specialists have stated that housing prices are not sustainable and thus include risks. (5)"I extracted this text from a study done by "KTI - High Quality Property Information" , an interesting and professionally made report on the housing market in Finland. Not sure how long the report will stay and be accessible online, anyway, I extracted the housing part related to residential.
In addition, I "colorised" the text above, to put emphasis on what one can call a politician talk... providing both positive and negative views hence pleasing both parties but most importantly not scaring customers of this report (the sponsors, which I extracted a list of it see - Ref 1- below ).
Anyway some comments:
(1) Demand has started to flatten during amid record housing price and historically generous housing financing (very low interests rates) - migration will continue if employment rises and also if housing is affordable and attractive - which is not granted currently.
(2) Increase in household income? I have some doubt...
(3) Uncertainty not only after 2012 but also in 2012... we had few tremors that were swiftly handled by the ECB, each time showing the fragility and gravity of the situation.
(4) If the situation was solved efficiently in the euro zone, interests rates will normalised which will send a shockwave to indebted Finnish household (98% have housing loan with variable interest rates). So housing price will also normalised downward...
(5) "Some specialists", too bad there is no mention of who they are and also what are those risks and what are the triggers for it to materialise.
