The real monthly cost of owning in Dunwoody
Take the median $670,000 home with 20% down at today’s 6.95% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $3,548/month. Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at DeKalb County’s typical unincorporated millage of 34.42 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $9,155/year ($763/month) after the standard homestead exemption — county and school exemptions vary and can lower it; inside a city, add the city millage. Georgia homeowners insurance runs well below Florida’s coastal premiums for most of the state; get a quote on the specific address, since roof age and wind exposure still move it. All in, budget on the order of $4,311/month to own the median Dunwoody home.

Dunwoody: the case for and against
What works in Dunwoody’s favor
- homes move quickly (median 14 days listed), so well-priced homes get competition
- property tax is levied on 40% of value, so the effective rate is lower than the millage suggests, and most counties add homestead exemptions on top
What to plan for
- prices run 68% above the statewide median in our coverage
- only about 4.0 months of supply, so choice is limited in the most popular price bands
- Georgia has a flat state income tax (about 5%, scheduled to keep stepping down), which Florida does not
