Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Pines of Westlake new construction?
- Yes. Homes in our recent MLS data were built from 2024 onward, and several current listings show a 2027 build year, meaning they are still under construction. One listing gives an estimated completion between February and May 2027. There is also an active resale market, with 22 closings in the past year. Compare the builder's price for a plan with recent resales of the same plan.
- What have homes in Pines of Westlake sold for recently?
- Twenty-two homes closed between July 2025 and September 2026, at prices from $518,530 to $810,000. The median closing was $622,500, or about $248 a square foot. The typical sale closed at about 98 percent of its final list price after a median of 36 days, which points to steady demand.
- What is for sale in Pines of Westlake right now?
- At the time of writing nine homes were for sale, priced from $649,990 to $960,000, with a median ask of $700,000. Three more were under contract. The current listings range from three-bedroom homes of about 2,300 square feet to a five-bedroom home of 3,770 square feet, and several are new homes still under construction.
- What are the HOA fees in Pines of Westlake?
- Listings show fees from $41 to $194 a month, with a median of about $123. Most say the fee covers the common areas, and some add the recreation facilities and security. The range is wide, so ask what a particular home pays and to which associations, and check the property tax bill for any other assessments.
- Is Pines of Westlake gated?
- Most listings say so. Thirty of the 35 listings in our data describe a gated community, and a few mention a guard. Because the neighborhood is still being built, entry arrangements may change as phases finish, so ask the association how the gate works for residents, guests and deliveries.
- Do homes in Pines of Westlake have pools?
- Not usually. None of the 35 listings in our data reports a private pool, so buyers who want one typically add it after closing. Lot size matters for that: the median lot is about 0.19 acres, and the largest is about 0.57 acres. Check setbacks, easements and HOA approval rules before you plan a pool, and get a contractor's quote early.
- Can you rent out a home in Pines of Westlake?
- Many owners can. Eighteen listings say leasing is allowed, though 15 note rental restrictions and 15 require buyer approval. Our data shows one rental at $4,800 a month. Read the association documents for minimum lease terms and approval rules before you buy a home here for rental income.
- What schools serve Pines of Westlake?
- Current MLS listings show Golden Grove Elementary, Osceola Creek Middle and Seminole Ridge High for addresses in Pines of Westlake. Westlake is still growing, and attendance zones in growing areas can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the School District of Palm Beach County before you buy.
- How many homes are for sale in Pines Of Westlake?
- There are 10 active listings for sale in Pines Of Westlake right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. Prices sit in a narrow band here, so homes in Pines Of Westlake tend to compete directly with each other. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Pines Of Westlake listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Pines Of Westlake?
- The median list price in Pines Of Westlake is $699,995, or roughly $280 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Pines Of Westlake homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $649,990 to $960,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most Pines Of Westlake homes are nearer the entry level and a few high-end listings pull the top up. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in Pines Of Westlake cover?
- Homes for sale in Pines Of Westlake currently range from about $649,990 at the entry level to $960,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects lot size, square footage, and finish level across the single-family homes here, with the median list price around $699,995. The spread is tight, which usually points to a consistent housing stock rather than a mix of sizes and eras. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Pines Of Westlake listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Pines Of Westlake?
- Homes in Pines Of Westlake are averaging 31 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a brisk pace, close to what a balanced South Florida market looks like, so a sharply priced home rarely lingers. Days on market in Pines Of Westlake also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Are there lakefront homes in Pines Of Westlake?
- Yes. Many Pines Of Westlake homes back onto community lakes, and lake-view lots are common in current listings. The water here is inland lake frontage rather than Intracoastal or ocean access, so do not expect navigable water or boat dockage.
About Pines Of Westlake
Pines Of Westlake, Westlake, FL, is a new construction community in Palm Beach County with 10 homes for sale right now. Pines Of Westlake is a community in Westlake, Palm Beach County, Florida. Active listings are priced from $565,000 to $710,000. Homes were built between 2024 and 2025. Pure Equity lists homes in Pines Of Westlake and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.
Pines of Westlake is a new-construction neighborhood of single-family homes in the City of Westlake, in the 33470 zip code of Palm Beach County. Some listings call it The Pines at Westlake, and remarks mention a Phase 2. Homes in our MLS data were built from 2024 onward, and several current listings show a 2027 build year, which means they are under construction. One remark gives an estimated completion between February and May 2027. Every one of the 35 listings in our data is a single-family house: 19 one-story and 16 two-story. The neighborhood appeals to buyers who want a new home in the western communities without waiting a year for a builder, and the resale market here is already active.
For owners thinking about selling, 22 homes closed between July 2025 and September 2026, at prices from $518,530 to $810,000. The median closing was $622,500, and the median price per square foot was about $248. The typical sale closed at about 98 percent of its final list price after a median of 36 days, which is strong. At the top, a five-bedroom home of 3,151 square feet on Spruce Pine Drive closed at $810,000 in September 2026, and a six-bedroom home of 4,008 square feet closed at $800,000. At the entry level, three-bedroom homes of 1,671 square feet closed at $531,500 and $573,000.
The main pricing problem for a Pines of Westlake seller is the builder. Several current listings with a 2027 build year are new homes at $693,700 to $732,819, and a resale has to compete with them. A buyer weighing the two will compare the resale price with the builder's price for the same plan, and with any incentives on offer. The resale has to win on what the builder cannot sell: a finished home today, fencing, gutters, landscaping and other owner improvements already in place. Listing remarks often itemize those improvements, and that is worth doing, since buyers discount upgrades they cannot see.
Competition for a seller is moderate. At the time of writing nine homes were for sale, priced from $649,990 to $960,000, with a median ask of $700,000, and three were under contract. The asking median is above the closing median because current listings skew toward larger homes, from about 2,300 to 3,770 square feet. Price per square foot across the recent sales ran from about $200 to $343, with smaller homes at the high end. A seller with a smaller plan should price from the 1,671 to 1,937 square foot closings. A seller with a large plan has a stronger case near the top of the range, especially on a lake lot.
For buyers, the housing stock is new and varied. Homes run from about 1,671 to 4,008 square feet, with a median of 2,485, and two to six bedrooms. Twenty-two of the 35 listings have a two-car garage and 13 have a three-car garage. The median lot is about 0.19 acres, and the largest reaches about 0.57 acres. Eleven listings report lakefront. None of the 35 reports a private pool, so most buyers who want one plan to add it. Construction is concrete block with tile roofs, listings regularly mention impact windows, and water and sewer are public.
HOA fees in our data range from $41 to $194 a month, with a median of about $123. That is a wide range, so ask exactly what a specific home pays and to which associations. Most listings say the fee covers the common areas, and some add the recreation facilities and security. New-construction property taxes also deserve a close look, since the first tax bill may reflect only the land. Ask for an estimate at the purchase price and check for any non-ad valorem assessments on the bill.
The rules are moderate. Thirty of the 35 listings describe a gated community, and a few note a guard. Eighteen say leasing is allowed, while 15 note rental restrictions and 15 require buyer approval, so read the documents before buying for rental income. Our data shows one rental at $4,800 a month. Pets are allowed on 29 listings, with number limits noted on 12. Commercial vehicles, RVs and boats are restricted on some listings.
Floor plans split almost evenly between one and two stories. Listings name models such as the Sandhill, a one-story plan with three bedrooms and a den, the Schefflera, with three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a den, and the two-story Azalea. Larger plans reach five and six bedrooms, and one listing describes a five-bedroom one-story home with a hobby room on an oversized cul-de-sac lot. Knowing the model makes it easy to put a resale next to a builder listing of the same plan. Ask the seller for the original purchase contract and upgrade list, which also shows what builder warranty coverage may remain.
If you are comparing Pines of Westlake with older neighborhoods in the western communities, the trade is new construction and lower maintenance against smaller lots and a builder still nearby. Compared with buying directly from the builder, a resale here can save months of waiting and include upgrades already installed. Families should note that current MLS listings show Golden Grove Elementary, Osceola Creek Middle and Seminole Ridge High for these addresses.

Buying in Pines Of Westlake
Buying a home in Pines Of Westlake
The buying process in Pines Of Westlake is the one used across Palm Beach County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Palm Beach County is about $3,600. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Westlake means you see new listings in Pines Of Westlake the day they reach the market.
Selling in Pines Of Westlake
Selling a home in Pines Of Westlake
Selling a home in Pines Of Westlake starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in Pines Of Westlake currently center around $699,995, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Pines Of Westlake owners in Westlake, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your Pines Of Westlake home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in Pines Of Westlake.
Listing agents and seller representation in Pines Of Westlake
Thinking about selling in Pines Of Westlake? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in Pines Of Westlake sit close to balanced, which rewards sellers who price against real closed sales instead of neighboring asking prices. Homes here are averaging about 31 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving Pines Of Westlake. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving Pines Of Westlake
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in Pines Of Westlake is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in Pines Of Westlake
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in Pines Of Westlake, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Palm Beach County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in Pines Of Westlake?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Pines Of Westlake, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $699,995 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Palm Beach County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Pines Of Westlake?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in Pines Of Westlake, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in Pines Of Westlake?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Pines Of Westlake do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Palm Beach County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
