This is such a non-story, mainly driven by the fact that home ownership in Nordic countries is ubiquitous (80% of Norwegians OWN their primary dwelling) combined with the high medium incomes resulting in those houses being quite expensive. I’d really recommend not trying to draw any deeper conclusions from this data.
Edit: by “own” I mean “have a non-paid off mortgage”, the tax on net wealth here actually disincentives paying off a mortgage early vs “leveling up” your debt/house.
