Förstahandskontrakt is more like 17 years in the most popular parts (Vasastan in Stockholm).

It is possible to get a sublet or such but it tends to be expensive and quite time consuming. A lot of scams going around as well so one has to be careful. Prices indicated above seem quite accurate.

17 years? Wow! Last I read was a couple of years ago, and it was definitely only about 5 then.

But when I first moved to Gbg it was easy to get a 2nd-hand contract. Now it's nearly impossible. I read that there was a change ~5 years ago in the law to make it financially better for the Bfr to switch from rental to co-op, so I can see how that would also affect Stockholm.

Well, if I want my children to retire in Vasastan then I should put their name on the list soon. (And have children, but that ruins the joke.)
