Danes are betting the five-year slump in home values will deepen as record low interest rates fail to entice prospective buyers.

Prices, which have already plunged 25 percent since their 2007 peak, will decline 5.5 percent this year, the government estimates. Record-low interest rates that translate into average borrowing costs of less than 0.1 percent have so far failed to resurrect home values as buyers wait for sellers to buckle under record-long sales times and cut prices lower.
