Dune Acres is one of the smallest towns in Porter County, a wooded lakefront community platted in the 1920s as a private resort, home to fewer than two hundred homes and the National Register-listed Dune Acres Clubhouse. If you own a house here that came from a family estate, needs more work than you want to fund, or you are ready to let go of a second home you no longer use, we take time to understand your situation before we ever talk numbers. We buy houses in Dune Acres for cash, in any condition, and homeowners searching for “sell my house fast in Dune Acres” usually want the same thing: a direct answer without months of showings in a town where everyone knows every listing. Preferred Home Buyer has bought houses across Northwest Indiana since 2011. We are BBB A+ rated, and our office is a short drive away in Merrillville.

Selling in Dune Acres: A Tiny, Wooded Market With Very Few Buyers
Dune Acres is genuinely small, roughly 165 homes on streets that all branch off Mineral Springs Road, and that scale changes how selling here works compared to almost anywhere else in Porter County.
- A thin buyer pool by design. Dune Acres has stayed intentionally small and residential since it was platted, which means fewer active listings, fewer comparable sales, and a smaller pool of buyers willing to wait out a slow market for the right wooded or lakefront lot.
- Older cabins and log homes need real work. Some of the town’s original 1920s log homes and beach cabins have original construction that inspectors often call out, and a lender-financed buyer often balks at what that repair list actually costs.
- Second homes sit empty and decay quietly. Many Dune Acres properties are weekend or seasonal homes. A vacant house on a wooded lot near the lake, with no one checking on it through a Region winter, tends to develop problems faster than an occupied one.
If your Dune Acres house is updated, lakefront, and you have the time to wait for the right buyer, listing it may genuinely net you more, and we will tell you that plainly. Our offer exists for the houses and timelines where that path does not work.

Sell My House Fast in Dune Acres: Why a Local Buyer Matters
- We’re based right here in the Region, not a national call center. Our office is at 8021 Cleveland Pl, Merrillville, IN 46410. Come meet us before you sign anything.
- We know the Porter County process. Probate, sheriff’s sales, and tax matters for Dune Acres properties run through the courts in Valparaiso, and our closings account for that from day one.
- We renovate for a living. Repair costs on an original 1920s log home or an aging beach cabin are real numbers to us, not inflated numbers meant to scare you, and we walk you through that math line by line.
- Easy to check out. BBB A+ rated, buying since 2011. Look us up before you call; we encourage it.

Dune Acres Situations We Help With
- Foreclosure: Porter County sheriff’s sales run through Valparaiso. Selling before the sale date usually protects your equity better than the auction will.
- Inherited houses: Estates for Dune Acres properties, including original log homes and older cabins, go through Porter County probate in Valparaiso. We buy inherited houses at any stage, contents and all, even with out-of-state heirs.
- Houses that need everything: Original 1920s construction, storm damage, or years of a vacant cabin sitting through Region winters. We buy as-is; you fix nothing.
- Second homes: If it is a seasonal or weekend property you no longer use, we buy rentals and second homes as-is, tenants or not.
- Also: divorce and relocation.

Dune Acres Seller FAQ
How fast can you close on my Dune Acres house?
As little as 3–5 business days* after you accept, through a local title company. Need more time? You pick the date and we work around it.
What does selling to you cost me?
Nothing. No commissions, no fees, and we pay all closing costs. The walkthrough and the offer itself cost you nothing either way.
My house is one of the original 1920s log homes or beach cabins. Do you buy those?
Yes. Original construction and decades of small fixes are homes we know well. Age changes the offer, not whether we make one.
Dune Acres has so few homes for sale at any time. Does that make it harder to sell to you?
No. Fewer local sales do not slow us down. We look at the property itself and recent sales across the Region to build a fair number.
My property is a second home I barely use. Will you still buy it as-is?
Yes. Seasonal and weekend homes are common in Dune Acres, and we buy them in whatever condition they are in, occupied or vacant.
Is Preferred Home Buyer legitimate?
Fair question, especially in a town this small and private. We are BBB A+ rated, buying across Northwest Indiana since 2011, with a real office at 8021 Cleveland Pl in Merrillville. Look us up before you call; we encourage it.
Do I need to clean or stage anything before you see it?
No, there’s no need. We look at houses exactly as they sit, and cleaning will not change our math.
Will you show me how you got your number?
Yes, line by line: recent comparable sales minus the realistic cost of repairs. If listing would truly net you more, we will tell you that instead.
