What is special about the property market in Zauckerode?

The density of building. In Zauckerode 4,681 residents fall to 407 residential buildings, so 11.5 people per building. Across the Freital town area the figure is 5.2, in Pesterwitz 3.6. Zauckerode is therefore Freital's apartment district, with 37.4 percent owner-occupancy and only 17.8 percent pre-war share. Valuation here runs predominantly on income rather than on the price per square metre.

Location profile: the apartment district

Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. Zauckerode belongs to the western part of the town and is the second largest district by population, but only the seventh largest by residential buildings.

That discrepancy is the core of this market. It means multi-storey blocks predominate here, and that owner-occupancy at 37.4 percent is the second lowest in Freital.

The pre-war share amounts to only 17.8 percent, the lowest figure in the town. The stock is therefore predominantly post-war.

What I observe here: valuation in Zauckerode works differently from the rest of Freital. Where blocks of flats stand, the annual rent counts, and vacancy of 4.8 percent bears directly on the income value.

Market data: price ranges and structure

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

This is the Freital price zone as of 2026. In Zauckerode the purchase factor bites more often than the price per square metre for houses.

For 77 percent of the census grid cells there are solid building values here.

Typical properties in Zauckerode

Multi-storey blocks. The defining type. They are valued on the annual rent, and the state of renovation sets the factor.

Apartments in subdivided stock. The accessible segment for owner-occupiers and small investors.

Detached houses. The smaller part of the stock, with the same valuation logic as in the other districts.

Properties needing work on the services. With predominantly post-war stock, the typical question: heating, pipework, bathrooms.

Frequently asked questions

Why do so many residents fall to one residential building in Zauckerode?
Because the stock consists predominantly of multi-storey blocks. The 2022 census records 4,681 residents and 407 residential buildings for Zauckerode, so 11.5 people per building. That is by far the highest figure in Freital, where the town average stands at 5.2. Owner-occupancy of 37.4 percent and a pre-war share of only 17.8 percent fit that picture.
What is an apartment in Zauckerode worth?
The Freital price zone applies: €1,900 to €2,600 per square metre for apartments. For a whole apartment building the purchase factor of twelve to fifteen times the annual net cold rent applies instead. In Zauckerode the second calculation bites more often than in any other Freital district, because multi-storey housing dominates here.
How high is vacancy in Zauckerode?
4.8 percent, the highest figure among the Freital districts with a market page of their own. By comparison, Pesterwitz stands at 0.5, Wurgwitz at 0.7 and the town area at 3.1 percent. With stock consisting predominantly of multi-storey blocks, vacancy affects the income value directly and with it the purchase factor.
How old is the building stock in Zauckerode?
Only 17.8 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, the lowest figure in all of Freital. By comparison, Potschappel stands at 71.4 and Schweinsdorf at 78.4 percent. The Zauckerode stock is therefore predominantly post-war, which means fewer questions of fabric for buyers but raises questions about the state of the building services.
