Property in the Dresden Region

Anyone selling in the area around Dresden is selling into a market that almost nobody works systematically. The city is well served by estate agencies; the ring around it is not: in some seventy of the ninety municipalities, not a single agency is based there. At the same time there is more saleable stock out there than in Dresden itself: 145,000 residential buildings, mostly in the hands of the people who live in them. This overview lists every municipality with its own market page individually, grouped by compass sector, with its own figures rather than with an average for the region that does not exist in that form.

What is a property in the Dresden region worth?

In the ring around Dresden, houses run between roughly €1,300 and €4,500 per square metre and flats between €1,100 and €2,600. The range is that wide because the ring contains everything: the vineyard slopes of Radebeul, Freital's industrial heritage and villages in the Erzgebirge. What decides is not the district but the municipality and, within the municipality, the individual quarter.

Frequently asked questions

How far does the Dresden region extend?

We work in a ring of around 40 kilometres around Dresden. That takes in the districts of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge, Meißen and Bautzen, together with the municipalities of the Mittelsachsen district that lie close to Dresden. Altogether that is some 90 municipalities with about 611,000 inhabitants and 145,000 residential buildings.

Why does a property outside Dresden sell differently from one in the city?

The pool of buyers is smaller and marketing takes longer. At the same time, the share of owner-occupied housing in the ring is considerably higher than in the city, at around 68 percent weighted by building. So there are more owners in a position to sell at all, but fewer prospective buyers who happen to walk past. Here, targeted outreach takes the place of passing trade.

Do you know the smaller municipalities as well?

Yes. For every municipality in the ring we have the official structural data from the building and housing survey: residential buildings, owner-occupancy rate, vacancy and the share of older stock. Those figures appear on every local page and are the basis for a realistic assessment, particularly where there are hardly any comparable sales.

What does the initial estimate cost?

Nothing. The calculator gives you a guide value in about two minutes, anonymously and without an email address. A robust valuation only comes with a viewing on site, and that too is free of charge for sellers.

Why do so few agents advertise the area around Dresden?

Because the journeys are longer and the properties on average cheaper. Most firms concentrate on the city and on four or five of the larger towns around it. In some seventy municipalities in the ring there is not a single agency based locally. For owners there that means little choice and rarely anyone who really knows the local market.
