What kind of homes are in Dunbar?

There is no single housing type in Dunbar. The active listings run detached houses at 59%, condos at 24% and half duplexes at 12%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 2017, with most of the market falling between 1930 and 2026, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

43% of the current listings were built in the last five years, so new-construction inventory is a real option here rather than an exception.

What do you actually get for the money?

64% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, with the 4-bedroom plan the most common of all. Family-sized space is the norm rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 2,629 sq ft of living space and 4 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 6,064 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

44% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Enclosed parking is standard: 88% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

38% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Dunbar rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 21 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $413 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Dunbar

There is no rapid-transit station in Dunbar, but 65% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 62 scored listings the median walk score is 56 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Cycling scores better than walking in a lot of the city, and it does here too: the median bike score across scored listings is 83.

Setting and surroundings

73% of the listings fall near a top-ranked school catchment, which tends to hold value in this part of the market even when the wider market cools.
