Westlake

Not yet. Westlake is an announced Wellen Park community that is not selling (coming soon · pre-construction), so pricing, floor plans and fees have not been published. Tell me you are watching it and I will send the real numbers the moment they exist. I cannot promise early access, because the builder controls release order.

Westlake is built by Lee Wetherington · ICI · Neal · West Bay. Floor plans, pricing and homesite releases have not been published yet, so anything circulating about cost or timing at this stage is speculation. Builders release in phases and control the order, so nobody can promise early access. Tell me you are watching Westlake and I will send the real figures the moment the builder publishes them rather than an estimate in the meantime.

The published Custom / $1M+ estimate does not agree with the recorded sales for Westlake. The county data, read October 2026, records 12 arm's-length sales since October 2023 at a median of $430,000. These are historical closing prices, not today's asking prices or a valuation of your home. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.

Westlake offers custom single family. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.

12 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Westlake since October 2023, at a median of $430,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $395,000 and $560,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.

46% of the 70 matched residential units in Westlake claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

The most recent home the county records in Westlake was completed in 2000, across 76 platted parcels of which 70 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Westlake in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
