What is special about the property market in Copitz?

With 9,656 residents, Copitz is the largest district in the entire 40-kilometre ring around Dresden and bigger than most countryside municipalities. Owner-occupancy stands at 46.1 percent, well below the Pirna town figure of 57.4 percent. Valuation here therefore frequently runs on income. Houses trade between €2,100 and €2,800 per square metre.

Location profile: a district the size of a municipality

Pirna lies 17.0 kilometres south-east of central Dresden on the Elbe. Copitz is the part of the town on the right bank, opposite the old town.

With 1,409 residential buildings, Copitz carries a good one in five of the Pirna town area's buildings. There are 6.9 people to each residential building; in Graupa the figure is 3.3. That is the decisive difference.

Owner-occupancy stands at 46.1 percent, so more than half of households rent. Across the Pirna town area the figure is 57.4 percent, in Graupa 80.9.

What I observe here: in Copitz both valuation worlds occur, and on a large scale. A terraced house is calculated on comparable value, a block of flats on the annual rent. Anyone who does not settle that beforehand addresses the wrong buyer group.

Market data: price ranges and structure

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

This is the Pirna price zone as of 2026. For 85 percent of the census grid cells there are solid building values in Copitz.

Vacancy amounts to 3.6 percent, below the Pirna town figure of 4.3 percent. The pre-war share of 40.9 percent is likewise lower than across the town area at 46.3 percent.

Frequently asked questions

How large is Copitz compared with other places in the countryside?
Larger than most municipalities. Copitz counts 9,656 residents and 1,409 residential buildings. By comparison, the municipality of Ottendorf-Okrilla comes to 9,928 residents, Moritzburg to 8,240 and Sebnitz to 8,424. Within Pirna, Copitz carries 1,409 of the town's 6,569 residential buildings, a good one in five.
Why is owner-occupancy in Copitz so low?
Because the stock has a high share of multi-storey housing. The 2022 census records 46.1 percent owner-occupancy for Copitz, against 57.4 percent across the Pirna town area and 80.9 percent in the district of Graupa. In Copitz 6.9 people fall to each residential building, in Graupa 3.3. More than half of households here rent.
What is an apartment in Copitz worth?
The Pirna price zone applies: €1,700 to €2,400 per square metre for apartments, €2,100 to €2,800 for houses and €120 to €220 for building plots. For whole apartment buildings the purchase factor of twelve to fifteen times the annual net cold rent applies, and that case arises more often in Copitz than in the other Pirna districts.
How old is the building stock in Copitz?
40.9 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949, less than the Pirna town figure of 46.3 percent. That places Copitz between Birkwitz at 28.3 and Graupa at 35.8 percent on one side and the Pirna old town on the other. Six in ten properties are therefore post-war or newer.
