Owning in Dunedin: questions

How much does it cost to own a home in Dunedin, FL?

Owning a single-family home at the median sale price in Dunedin ($560,000) costs about $3,924 a month with 20% down at 6.8%: $2,921 for the mortgage, $723 property tax and $280 insurance. Homes in an HOA or CDD add about $35 a month for an HOA (15% of house listings report one).

How much is property tax in Dunedin?

Sellers in Dunedin report a median tax bill of about 0.91% of the price. That number is low for a buyer: Florida's Save Our Homes cap holds down a long-time owner's assessment, and it resets after a sale. We budget 1.55% of the price for a new owner until the county's estimator says otherwise.

Do most homes in Dunedin have an HOA or CDD?

57% of recent listings report an HOA or condo association fee, median $7,200 a year. For single-family listings it's 15%, median $420 a year. Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 0% have one. A blank fee on a listing usually means no association but isn't confirmed, so these are shares of listings that report a fee, not of all homes. Fees vary a lot by community, so check the community pages below before you compare homes.

How fast do homes sell in Dunedin?

Homes that sold recently spent a median 45 days on the market and sold for 92% of their original asking price. There are 231 homes for sale right now.
