Dunedin at a glance
Local notes: Dunedin
A walkable town with Scottish heritage, a busy Main Street, Blue Jays spring training and Honeymoon and Caladesi islands just offshore. Older cottages and waterfront homes command a premium.
Housing stock in Dunedin
Dunedin has about 21,305 housing units. 53% are single-family homes and 22% are in buildings with 10 or more units, and 11% are mobile or manufactured homes. 61% of homes were built before 1980 and 12% were built in 2000 or later. The median resident is 58 years old. About 12% of housing units are seasonal or occasional-use homes, so part-time residents are a meaningful slice of the market.
With a median resident age of 58, estate planning, probate sales and life-estate deeds come up often.
When Dunedin owners call an attorney
- Probate and estate sales. With a median build year of 1976, many Dunedin homes have long-time owners, and inherited homes often need probate before they can sell.
- For-sale-by-owner. Have the contract drafted or reviewed.
- Title defects. Old liens, missing heirs, quiet-title actions.
- Contract disputes. Deposits, inspection deadlines, defaults.
