What is special about the property market in Birkwitz?

The build age. In Birkwitz only 28.3 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, against 46.3 percent across the Pirna town area. That gives the district the youngest stock in the town. Add 76.2 percent owner-occupancy and 2.3 percent vacancy. Houses trade between €2,100 and €2,800 per square metre.

Location profile: the town's youngest stock

Pirna lies 17.0 kilometres south-east of central Dresden on the Elbe. Birkwitz belongs to the north-western part of the town area, downstream towards Heidenau.

With 774 residents and 250 residential buildings it is the smallest of the three districts with a market page of their own. There are 3.1 people to each residential building.

Owner-occupancy stands at 76.2 percent, well above the Pirna town figure of 57.4 percent. Vacancy amounts to 2.3 percent.

What I observe here: Birkwitz combines three qualities that simplify a sale. Young stock means little argument about fabric, high owner-occupancy means owner-occupiers as the buyer group, and low vacancy means hardly any competing offers.

Market data: price ranges and structure

  • Houses: €2,100–2,800/sqm
  • Apartments: €1,700–2,400/sqm
  • Building plots: €120–220/sqm
  • Apartment buildings: purchase factor 12–15

This is the Pirna price zone as of 2026. For 78 percent of the census grid cells there are solid building values in Birkwitz.

Within the range Birkwitz carries the upper values, because the young stock makes the buyer's financing easier.
