What is my property in Dresden worth?
What does a property valuation in Dresden cost?
Our online initial estimate is free and without obligation. It serves as orientation for the market value and is ideal for getting a realistic feel for the price range before a sale. A detailed market value report by a publicly appointed expert — for example for a court, an inheritance or the tax office — costs, by contrast, several hundred to over a thousand euros. For a normal sale, in the vast majority of cases the well-founded market assessment by a local agent is enough. The calculator above gives you a first guide value in seconds; for a deeper dive, see our guide to property valuation and value assessment.
What makes your property valuable
Location: By far the biggest lever. Between Elbe-slope locations such as Loschwitz and simpler locations there are worlds of difference in Dresden — neighbourhood and micro-location decide the price per square metre.
Condition and year of construction: Well kept, modernised or in need of renovation? The energy standard and year of construction influence both the price and the pool of buyers.
Size and floor plan: Living area, room layout and usability. A good floor plan can upgrade a smaller area.
Fittings: Balcony or terrace, fitted kitchen, parking space or underground garage, lift — such features shift the value noticeably upwards.
Hands-on assessment
“When selling an apartment (Eigentumswohnung) in Dresden, I frequently see owners underestimate the achievable price by 8–15%. The difference almost always lies in the marketing strategy — not in the property itself.”
— Calvin Linke, estate agent (Immobilienmakler) Dresden
Discuss in person →Comparative value, income value or asset value
Comparative value method: The standard for freehold flats and owner-occupied houses. The value is derived from sale prices actually achieved for comparable properties in the location.
Income value method: Decisive for let flats and apartment buildings. Here what counts is the annual net cold rent multiplied by a purchase price factor typical of the location.
Asset value method: For special-purpose properties without a real comparison market. The value is derived from the land value plus the building asset value.
Online calculator vs. personal assessment
Online calculator
Instant, free, anonymous — perfect for a first guide value. The accuracy is limited, though, because micro-location, floor plan, view and building services are not captured.
Personal valuation
An inspection with current comparable data from your neighbourhood produces the reliable sale value. It is precisely these missing factors that often decide whether your property lies in the upper or lower third of the range.

Common mistakes in property valuation
Wishful price instead of market price: Many owners start emotionally too high. An excessive asking price turns the property into a shelf-warmer — and in the end it is often sold below value. The first impression on the market is decisive and cannot be repeated.
Taking online tools at face value: Automatic calculators provide a range, not a fixed value. Anyone who sets the upper end as the sale price wastes either time or money.
Misjudging the location: Between two streets in the same neighbourhood there can be worlds of difference. Valuations without real knowledge of the micro-location regularly miss the mark.
Over- or underestimating modernisations: A new bathroom raises the value — but rarely by the full investment cost. Conversely, hidden defects in the roof, the heating system or with damp depress the price more strongly than many expect.
Valuation for inheritance, divorce or the tax office
Not every valuation serves a sale. For an inherited property, the value is the basis for inheritance tax and the fair division within the community of heirs. In a divorce or separation, it decides the equalisation of accrued gains. And the tax office applies its own standards. In all these cases we provide a comprehensible, documented assessment — and accompany you if the valuation is to become a sale.
