How these figures are calculated

* Market condition. Market condition compares a county's share of active listings with a price reduction and its median days on market with the Florida statewide figures Realtor.com publishes for the same month. Both above the statewide figure: leaning buyer's market. Both below: leaning seller's market. Anything else, including a tie or one missing metric: balanced. Both metrics missing, or no statewide figure for that month: shown as —. This is a read of asking-side listing data only; it is not months of inventory or a measure of closed sales. Florida statewide, September 2026: 20.1% of listings with a price cut, 81 median days on market. Methodology · Data dictionary

Residential. Realtor.com® Economic Research, monthly. Listing counts, days on market and listing prices come from the monthly history; price-cut share and $/SF are stored for the latest month (September 2026) only. Earlier months show the snapshot for that month, not an average. YoY compares a month with the same month a year earlier; for September 2026 it uses Realtor.com's published YoY figures.

Commercial. Florida Department of Revenue tax roll (NAL/SDF) and Florida Department of State (Sunbiz), via LGData; Linton Global calculations. Commercial (DOR 010-039) and industrial (040-049) parcels. Sales and $/SF = arm's-length single-parcel sales (DOR qualification codes 01-02) on the current roll, excluding hotels/motels (DOR 039, which in resort counties includes condo-hotel and vacation-rental units). Areas with fewer than 5 parcels, and $/SF medians from fewer than 5 sales, are suppressed.

How much commercial property is in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
The 2026 final tax roll lists 649 commercial and industrial parcels with 3.9 million square feet of buildings.
What are median sale prices per square foot in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
ZIP 34698: $206 on 17 sales. A median mixes property types and ages, so compare the building to similar recorded sales.
How many bank REO transfers appear in the sales data for Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
ZIP 34698: 0, with 17 arm’s-length sales. The count shows what was recorded, not what is for sale today.
Who owns commercial property in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
ZIP 34698: 68.1% held by entities, 16.6% out-of-state owners. To reach an owner, you may need an entity’s registered agent or a mailing address outside Florida.
How old are commercial buildings in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
Median year built: ZIP 34698: 1983. Age alone doesn’t set condition, so check the roof, HVAC and electrical systems and their records.

Work the numbers

What is the average building area per parcel in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
3.9 million SF ÷ 649 parcels ≈ 5,948 SF. An average can hide a few very large buildings.
Hypothetical: a 6,000 SF building in Dunedin priced at the ZIP 34698 median of $206 per SF. What is the price?
6,000 × $206 = $1.24 million. That is arithmetic on a median, not an appraisal or an opinion of value.
Same hypothetical 6,000 SF building, with an assumed 7.5% cap rate. What NOI would $1.24 million need?
$1.24 million × 7.5% = $92,700 a year. The cap rate is an assumption for practice, so check the actual rent roll and expenses.
With $92,700 of NOI, what is the most annual debt service an assumed 1.25 DSCR allows?
$92,700 ÷ 1.25 = $74,160 a year. Lender terms vary, so treat 1.25 as an example.
About how many industrial parcels are in Dunedin (ZIP 34698)?
ZIP 34698: 4.8% of 649 ≈ 31.

Dunedin: Market Overview

Dunedin's historic downtown along Main Street and Broadway is among the most walkable and authentic main-street commercial environments in Florida. The corridor combines locally-owned restaurants, boutique retail, microbreweries (Dunedin has emerged as a Tampa Bay craft beer destination), and lifestyle services — supported by the Pinellas Trail running directly through downtown.

The Toronto Blue Jays' TD Ballpark (spring training complex) anchors the city's seasonal hospitality demand provides ongoing destination traffic. The Honeymoon Island State Park and Caladesi Island ferry access at the end of Curlew Road support significant tourism activity.

Dunedin's residential character — historic neighborhoods adjacent to downtown, Honeymoon Island access, premium school performance — drives durable lifestyle real estate demand. The city is highly built-out with limited remaining greenfield, producing pricing power for existing inventory and meaningful opportunity for infill and reposition.

What makes Dunedin distinctive among Pinellas County submarkets?

Dunedin combines genuinely walkable historic downtown (rare in Florida), authentic main street commercial along Main Street and Broadway, the Toronto Blue Jays' TD Ballpark spring training complex, the Pinellas Trail running directly through downtown, and Honeymoon Island State Park access. The combination produces lifestyle real estate demand pricing that no other Pinellas submarket replicates.

How does Dunedin's craft beer scene affect CRE?

Dunedin has emerged as a Tampa Bay craft beer destination with multiple established microbreweries downtown (Dunedin Brewery, Cueni, 7venth Sun, and others). The brewery concentration anchors broader downtown food-and-beverage activity, drives weekend destination traffic, and supports continued restaurant and retail development. The brewery cluster has become a meaningful CRE driver for downtown Dunedin.

Are there Dunedin commercial real estate opportunities?

Yes — though the submarket is small relative to Tampa or St. Pete. Opportunities exist in downtown retail and restaurant reposition, historic adaptive reuse, multifamily infill in downtown-adjacent areas, and the broader Curlew Road / SR 580 commercial corridor. Michael R. Linton at Linton Global Solutions covers Dunedin and adjacent submarkets.
