What does an agent add when selling in Dohma?
Why a local agent makes the difference in Dohma
The first reason is the price gap to Pirna. It amounts to around €400 per square metre and is this municipality's strongest argument. But it only works when it appears in the particulars as a calculation rather than as a remark about being close to town.
The second reason is the scarcity. At 2.6 percent vacancy, and 1.1 percent in the village of Dohma, the seller sets the pace. That position can only be held if documents and condition survey are complete from the outset.
The third reason is Cotta. The village carries more residential buildings than the main village and, with its larger plots and its position by the Spitzberg, has a buyer group of its own.
Market situation in Dohma
Dohma counts 542 residential buildings and 1,001 private households, with owner-occupancy at 75.4 percent. Houses cost €1,700 to €2,300 per square metre, apartments €1,400 to €2,000 and building plots €80 to €160. Apartment buildings reach ten to thirteen times the annual rent, though they practically do not occur here.
Vacancy amounts to 2.6 percent and the pre-war share to 51.1 percent. In the village of Dohma the latter stands at 41.5 percent, where the younger part of the stock is found.
The counterintuitive part is the distribution. The main village has the most residents at 961, but Cotta has the most residential buildings at 239. Anyone looking only at population figures underestimates the Cotta market.
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
