What is special about the property market in Hermsdorf near Ottendorf-Okrilla?

High owner-occupancy alongside older stock. In Hermsdorf 86.2 percent of households own their home, above the Ottendorf-Okrilla municipal figure of 81.0 percent. The pre-war share, however, stands at 46.3 percent against 37.2 across the municipality. Houses trade between €2,200 and €2,900 per square metre, and the state of renovation decides the position.

Location profile: two districts, two build ages

Ottendorf-Okrilla lies 15.3 kilometres north of central Dresden at the edge of the Laußnitz Heath. Hermsdorf belongs to the eastern part of the municipality.

With 1,352 residents and 511 residential buildings, 2.6 people fall to each building. Owner-occupancy of 86.2 percent sits above the municipal figure of 81.0 percent.

The pre-war share of 46.3 percent is the defining difference from Medingen. Just under half the stock is period property.

What I observe here: anyone valuing a Hermsdorf property against the municipal figure of 37.2 percent pre-war share assumes stock that is too young. Valuation here belongs on the individual build year, not on the municipal average.

Which Hermsdorf is meant?
The district of the municipality of Ottendorf-Okrilla, 15.3 kilometres north of Dresden at the edge of the Laußnitz Heath, with 1,352 residents and 511 residential buildings. Within the 40-kilometre ring there is also the municipality of Hermsdorf in the Ore Mountains, which belongs to the rural countryside price zone. In listings the municipality therefore always belongs alongside.

46.3 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, considerably more than the municipal figure of 37.2 percent and more than twice the figure in the district of Medingen at 22.6 percent. Just under half the stock is therefore period property and the other half post-war or newer. The two need different evidence in a sale.

There is no separate range for the district. With just under half the stock period property, the state of renovation decides the position.
How much comes to market in Hermsdorf near Ottendorf-Okrilla?
Little. With 511 residential buildings, 86.2 percent owner-occupancy and 2.4 percent vacancy, only individual properties change hands in a year.
