What is special about the property market in Wurgwitz?

The rate of owner-occupancy. At 76.8 percent it is the highest among the Freital districts, while the town area stands at 56.9 percent. Add vacancy of 0.7 percent across 730 residential buildings. Wurgwitz is therefore an owner-occupier market in which little reaches the market in a year. Houses trade between €2,400 and €3,100 per square metre.

Location profile: the owner district

Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden. Wurgwitz sits in the north-west of the town area, above the Weißeritz valley, next to Pesterwitz.

Across 2,513 residents and 730 residential buildings there are 3.4 people per building. By comparison, in Zauckerode the figure is 11.5. Wurgwitz consists practically entirely of one- and two-family houses.

Vacancy of 0.7 percent is the second lowest in Freital; only Pesterwitz lies below at 0.5 percent.

What I observe here: the stock is mixed. A pre-war share of 44.6 percent means roughly every second property is period stock and every second is not. The two need different evidence in a sale.

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. For 82 percent of the census grid cells there are solid building values in Wurgwitz.

Within the range the scarcity of supply supports the upper values. Differentiation comes from the build year.

Typical properties in Wurgwitz

Post-war and newer detached houses. About half the stock, and the more straightforward part to sell.

Older houses and village houses. The other half. Roof, façade and damp decide the price here.

Semi-detached houses. At 3.4 people per residential building, a noticeable share with a buyer group of its own.

Building plots. At €150 to €260 per square metre and with vacancy this low, the scarcest commodity in the district.

Who buys in Wurgwitz?

Dresden families. The group that carries this market. They set the western Dresden districts against a price gap earned over eight kilometres of road.

Waiting local buyers. At 0.7 percent vacancy, demand arises long before supply.

People moving up from the valley districts. From Potschappel, Döhlen and Hainsberg, leaving a rented flat for a home of their own.

Buyers from Wilsdruff and Kesselsdorf. They come from the west and know the area.

Wurgwitz in context

Wurgwitz belongs to the town of Freital, whose market data and buyer groups are set out there in context. The immediate neighbouring district is Pesterwitz; Potschappel, Hainsberg, Döhlen and Zauckerode also have market pages of their own.

Frequently asked questions

Why is owner-occupancy in Wurgwitz the highest in Freital?
Because there is hardly any multi-storey housing here. The 2022 census records 2,513 residents and 730 residential buildings for Wurgwitz, so 3.4 people per building, and owner-occupancy of 76.8 percent. By comparison, Zauckerode comes to 11.5 people per building and 37.4 percent owner-occupancy. Wurgwitz is a district of one- and two-family houses.
How much comes to market in Wurgwitz?
Little. With 730 residential buildings and 0.7 percent vacancy, five buildings stand empty in arithmetic terms, and at 76.8 percent owner-occupancy there is hardly any rented stock from which something might come free. Only Pesterwitz lies below at 0.5 percent. Anyone selling here should therefore begin with registered prospective buyers.
What is a house in Wurgwitz 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. There is no separate range for the district. Within the range the scarcity of supply supports the upper values, while the build age at 44.6 percent pre-war share differentiates.
How old is the building stock in Wurgwitz?
44.6 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, somewhat less than the Freital town figure of 49.5 percent. That places Wurgwitz mid-field between Pesterwitz at 18.7 and Schweinsdorf at 78.4 percent. Around every second property is therefore post-war or newer, which calls for two different valuation approaches.
