What is special about the property market in Maxen?

Proximity to the city. At 15.4 kilometres as the crow flies to central Dresden, Maxen lies closer to the city than most places in the southern countryside. The district counts 505 residents and 173 residential buildings, at 42.4 percent pre-war share and 2.7 percent vacancy. Houses trade between €2,200 and €2,900 per square metre.

Location profile: the closest position to the city in the Eastern Ore Mountains

The municipality of Müglitztal lies 15.4 kilometres south of central Dresden in the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains, in the valley of the Müglitz between Dohna and Glashütte. Maxen lies on the plateau above the valley.

With 505 residents and 173 residential buildings, 2.9 people fall to each building. Owner-occupancy comes to 75.6 percent against 77.9 percent across the municipality.

The pre-war share stands at 42.4 percent against 46.2 percent across the municipal area, and vacancy at 2.7 percent. Building values exist for 74 percent of the grid cells.

What I observe here: searching for a house in southern Dresden, interested parties usually end up in Bannewitz, Freital or Kreischa. Müglitztal appears on the list less often but lies a similar distance away. Anyone selling in Maxen has to state that distance actively, or the place is assumed to be further off than it is.
