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

The state of renovation. At 52.7 percent pre-war share, the strongest single factor.
The type of use. Whether comparable value or income value applies hangs on it.

The tenant structure. With let properties it sets the factor within the range.
Sales strategy
The first step is settling the valuation method, because the paperwork and the approach depend on it.
The second step is the condition survey of roof and façade, because at this build age it carries every financing decision.
The third step is placing the district against its neighbours, so that a buyer does not confuse the Döhlen figures with the Potschappel share of period stock.
