Calculate property value

The calculator combines the two methods that surveyors also use for residential property — depending on which fits your property.

The comparative-value method is the standard for owner-occupied condominiums and single-family houses. The basis is the prices per square metre actually achieved by comparable properties in comparable locations. Location, year of construction, condition and fittings shift the value within the price range typical for your district. For let flats, the net cold rent is also included: the calculator compares the income value with the comparative value and weights the result — because a poor tenancy agreement lowers the investor value but does not change the location factor.

The income-value method applies to let flats and apartment buildings. Here, what counts is not the price per square metre but the return: buyers — usually investors — pay a multiple of the annual net cold rent. In Dresden this factor lies between 10 (Prohlis, apartment building) and 22 (Altstadt, Neustadt), depending on location and property size. A flat with 9,600 € in annual rent is thus traded at around 192,000 to 213,000 € — provided the rent matches the market level.

Prices in Dresden differ considerably by district. The following overview shows the current market-value ranges for condominiums and single-family houses — these values form the basis of the calculator.

Top locations (A-locations)

• Altstadt / Inner Neustadt / centre (01067, 01097, 01099): flats 3,000–3,800 €/m², houses 4,000–6,000 €/m². Highest demand, lowest supply, stable appreciation.
• Neustadt / Outer Neustadt (01099): flats 2,500–3,100 €/m². Popular with young buyers and investors, strong lettability.

Good locations (B-locations)

• Blasewitz / Loschwitz / Wachwitz / Striesen (01277, 01309, 01324, 01326, 01219, 01307): flats 2,400–3,300 €/m², houses 3,000–5,500 €/m². Elbe-slope locations achieve peak values. Highly sought-after residential locations with a high owner-occupier rate.
• Plauen / Südvorstadt (01187, 01069, 01217): flats 2,400–3,200 €/m², houses 3,000–4,500 €/m². Close to the university, solid demand, good public-transport links.
• Klotzsche / Hellerau (01109): flats 2,000–2,800 €/m², houses 2,800–4,200 €/m². A green northern location, popular with families.

Mid-range locations (C-locations)

• Mickten / Trachau (01129, 01139): flats 2,100–2,700 €/m², houses 2,400–3,500 €/m². An up-and-coming northern location with growing infrastructure.
• Pieschen (01127): flats 1,800–2,400 €/m², houses 2,200–3,200 €/m². An upgrading tendency, a simple C-location with development potential.
• Leuben / Laubegast / Tolkewitz (01257, 01259, 01279): flats 2,000–2,600 €/m², houses 2,400–3,700 €/m². Locations near the Elbe in Laubegast achieve premiums.
• Cotta / Löbtau (01157, 01159): flats 1,900–2,500 €/m², houses 2,100–3,200 €/m². A mid-range C-location, the largest supply, a cheap entry into the Dresden city area.
• Surrounding region (Radebeul, Freital, Pirna, Coswig): flats 1,600–2,600 €/m², houses 1,800–3,200 €/m². Strongly location-dependent.

Simpler locations (D-locations)

• Prohlis / Reick / Gorbitz (01237, 01239, 01169): flats 1,400–2,000 €/m², houses 1,700–2,500 €/m². The lowest prices, but also the lowest potential for appreciation.

Important: these ranges are reference values. The actual position within the range depends on the year of construction, condition, floor plan and fittings — and that is exactly what the calculator above works out for your property.

The property value calculator is intended for everyone who needs a quick, no-obligation overview of the market value of a Dresden property — without an agent appointment, without waiting, without cost.

Owners ahead of a possible sale get an initial orientation before they get in touch with an agent. That stops people from going into conversations with false expectations — in both directions. read more

Communities of heirs often have to assess the value of an inherited property quickly — for the division among co-heirs, as a basis for negotiations or as a starting point for a tax-office valuation. The calculator provides an initial reference point before an official market-value report is commissioned. read more

With divorce and the equalisation of gains, the property value is often the biggest point of contention. A rough reference value helps to set realistic expectations and keep negotiations objective. read more

Investors and prospective buyers can check whether an asking price is in line with the market — or whether there are significant deviations up or down. Especially with let properties, the calculator provides a quick return comparison. read more

Curious owners who simply want to know what their flat is worth today, without having to contact anyone — the calculator is for them too.

Location is by far the strongest lever on value. Between a top location such as the Loschwitz Elbe slope and a peripheral location such as Prohlis there can easily be a factor of 2 to 3 in the price per square metre. Central quarters — Neustadt, Blasewitz, Altstadt — benefit from high demand against scarce supply.

After that come the year of construction and the energy condition. A renovated property achieves 30–50 % more in Dresden than a comparable unrenovated flat. Since the GEG 2024, buyers also factor in renovation costs for energy-weak buildings — a noticeable price discount for energy classes F and G. Buyers and financing banks increasingly assess this critically.

The level of rent directly influences the value of let properties: a flat with rent well below the market level is valued by investors with a discount — even if location and condition are fine. Conversely, an above-average rent justifies a premium on the pure comparative value.

The market environment and interest rates round off the picture: they cannot be influenced, but should be factored into the pricing strategy. How your specific district has developed most recently can be read in the Dresden market report 2026.

For a normal sale, a well-founded agent's assessment is enough — it is usually free and closer to the actual sale price than a desk-based report. A court-proof market-value report (1,500–3,000 €), on the other hand, is worth it when a value has to be legally robust:

• Inheritance: for the division among co-heirs or as a counter-report against the tax office
• Divorce: for calculating the equalisation of gains
• Lending: when a bank requires a robust value
• Disputes: in court proceedings

The online reference value does not replace a report — but it gives you a quick, free orientation, completely without contact details. If you'd like to know what your result means in your individual case, we are happy to put it in context for you, free of charge.
