Your apartment in Dresden for owner-occupancy

Dresden is not just an investment decision. It is a city where everyday life feels good. Because of the Elbe, the spaciousness, the short distances, and an urbanity that is not overwhelming.

What makes Dresden special as a place to live?

The Elbe

Elbe meadows, cycle paths, views of the old town — anyone who has walked along the Elbe understands why people stay here.

Greenery and spaciousness

Großer Garten, Waldpark, Elbhang — an unusual amount of greenery in direct residential areas for a city of this size.

KfW funding

There are state funding programs for owner-occupied condominiums — together with our financing partner, we will check which ones apply to you.

Still unsure which location suits you?

We provide non-binding advice and show you which districts and properties match your requirements.

Frequently asked questions about buying an apartment in Dresden

How much does a condominium in Dresden cost?

Purchase prices vary considerably depending on location, year of construction, and condition. According to the 2026 Property Market Report by the Dresden Expert Committee, average transaction prices in 2025 for existing apartments were around €2,705 per m² and for new apartments around €6,460 per m² of living space. In particularly sought-after locations like Blasewitz, average prices of around €8,245 per m² were achieved in the new construction segment. These values are guidelines — the actual purchase price depends on the micro-location, floor plan, fittings, and negotiation situation.

New construction or existing building — which is right for me?

New apartments offer modern floor plans, low energy costs, and predictable purchase conditions — at higher entry prices. Existing apartments are often cheaper to buy, are located in established areas, and are available immediately. For investors, both segments differ in their tax treatment (depreciation). You can find a detailed comparison in the guide New Construction vs. Existing Property as a Capital Investment.

Buy an apartment for owner-occupancy or as a capital investment?

Both options make sense in Dresden for different reasons. Owner-occupiers benefit from quality of life, independence from the rental market, and state funding programs (e.g., KfW). Investors benefit from stable rental income, depreciation options, and the structural demand in the Dresden housing market — evidenced by population growth and falling vacancy rates. More on this: Buying and Renting Out a Condominium.

What additional costs are involved in buying an apartment?

In addition to the purchase price, the following ancillary costs apply in Saxony:

  • Real estate transfer tax: 3.5% of the purchase price

  • Notary and land registry fees: approx. 1.5–2% of the purchase price

  • Brokerage commission: as per agreement

As a rule, you should calculate ancillary purchase costs of around 5–7% of the purchase price. These costs cannot be financed via standard KfW programs and must usually be covered by equity. For an individual calculation, we recommend a consultation with a financing advisor.

What funding is available for buying an apartment?

The best-known funding for owner-occupied condominiums is the KfW program for energy-efficient construction and renovation. Which programs are currently available, which energy standards are required, and the amount of funding change regularly. We recommend checking funding options individually and currently before making a purchase decision — together with a financing advisor.

Which districts in Dresden are interesting for buying an apartment?

VIAREALIS® is currently represented with properties in Striesen and Blasewitz — two of Dresden's most sought-after residential locations. Striesen is particularly suitable for families and owner-occupiers, while Blasewitz is one of the city's most exclusive locations. Other interesting districts include Neustadt, Strehlen, and Plauen — depending on your goals and budget.

Is it worth buying an apartment in Dresden in 2026?

Dresden is stabilizing after the interest rate years of 2022–2023 and is showing increasing transaction numbers again in 2025: around 5,080 purchase cases, +11% compared to the previous year. The number of initial sales of new apartments rose by around 75%. (Source: Expert Committee for Property Values Dresden, Property Market Report 2026.) Whether the purchase is specifically worth it for you depends on financing, location, and intended use.
