What is special about the property market in Schweinsdorf?

The build age. In Schweinsdorf 78.4 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, the highest figure among the Freital districts and well above the town figure of 49.5 percent. At the same time vacancy stands low at 1.6 percent. Houses trade between €2,400 and €3,100 per square metre, and the state of renovation decides the position.

Location profile: four in five properties are pre-war

Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. Schweinsdorf is one of the smaller districts, with 1,474 residents and 307 residential buildings.

Each residential building houses 4.8 people, and 48.4 percent of households own their home. A good half of households rent.

Vacancy amounts to 1.6 percent, below the Freital town figure of 3.1 percent. At this build age that is notable: the old stock here is in use rather than being given up.

What I observe here: for 90 percent of the census grid cells in Schweinsdorf there are building values, the best data coverage among the Freital districts. Anyone valuing here works on unusually firm ground.

Market data: price ranges and structure

  • Houses: €2,400–3,100/sqm
  • Apartments: €1,900–2,600/sqm
  • Building plots: €150–260/sqm
  • Apartment buildings: purchase factor 12–15

This is the Freital price zone as of 2026. With four in five properties pre-war, the €700 per square metre range maps almost entirely onto the state of renovation.

Frequently asked questions

How old is the building stock in Schweinsdorf?
78.4 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, the highest figure in all of Freital. By comparison, Potschappel stands at 71.4, Hainsberg at 69.2 and the town area at 49.5 percent. At the other end stand Zauckerode at 17.8 and Pesterwitz at 18.7 percent. In Schweinsdorf, therefore, four in five properties are pre-war fabric.
How reliable are the figures for Schweinsdorf?
Very reliable. For 90 percent of the census grid cells in Schweinsdorf there are building values, the best data coverage among the Freital districts with a market page of their own. In smaller districts values are often missing because of census confidentiality; here that is hardly the case. The statement about build age therefore rests on solid ground.
What is a house in Schweinsdorf 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. At 78.4 percent pre-war share, the state of renovation decides the position within that €700 range, not the location.
How high is the rented share in Schweinsdorf?
A good half. Owner-occupancy stands at 48.4 percent, below the Freital town figure of 56.9 percent. With 1,474 residents and 307 residential buildings, 4.8 people fall to each building. Apartment buildings are therefore frequent here, and for them the purchase factor of twelve to fifteen times the annual rent applies.
