Selling property in Döhlen

Döhlen is the Freital district that comes closest to the town average. Owner-occupancy, build age and vacancy all three sit near the figures for the town area as a whole. That does not make it unremarkable but easy to calculate.

What is special about the property market in Döhlen?

Döhlen sits close to the Freital town average on almost every measure: 49.1 percent owner-occupancy against 56.9 across the town, 52.7 percent pre-war share against 49.5, and 2.3 percent vacancy against 3.1. It is therefore the most representative district in Freital. Houses trade between €2,400 and €3,100 per square metre.

Location profile: the core of the town formed in 1921

Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. Döhlen is one of the three places from which the town was formed in 1921 and still carries the seat of its administration.

Across 3,493 residents and 619 residential buildings there are 5.6 people per building. At 49.1 percent owner-occupancy, just under half of households are tenants.

The pre-war share amounts to 52.7 percent and vacancy to 2.3 percent, both close to the town figures of 49.5 and 3.1 percent.

What I observe here: Döhlen is the district from which the Freital market can most readily be read. What works here usually works in Potschappel and Hainsberg too, once the higher period-stock share there is allowed for.

Frequently asked questions

How large is Döhlen?
3,493 residents and 619 residential buildings, making it the fifth largest Freital district by building count. There are 5.6 people to each building, so a noticeable share of apartment buildings. By comparison, Potschappel counts 1,078 residential buildings, Pesterwitz 888, Wurgwitz 730 and Hainsberg 708.
What is a house in Döhlen worth?
The Freital price zone applies: €2,400 to €3,100 per square metre for houses, €1,900 to €2,600 for apartments and €150 to €260 for building plots. For apartment buildings the purchase factor of twelve to fifteen times the annual rent applies. At 52.7 percent pre-war share, the state of renovation decides the position.
How high is vacancy in Döhlen?
2.3 percent, below the Freital town figure of 3.1 percent. By comparison, Zauckerode stands at 4.8, Birkigt at 4.5 and Potschappel at 4.2 percent, while Pesterwitz stands at 0.5. Döhlen therefore sits in the lower middle, which for a district with nearly half its stock rented is a sound figure.
How old is the building stock in Döhlen?
52.7 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, slightly more than the Freital town figure of 49.5 percent. That places Döhlen between Wurgwitz at 44.6 and Birkigt at 55.3 percent. Around half the stock is therefore period property and half post-war or newer.
