This page tracks what homes in Western Shores actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 14 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.

Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

Reduced at least once 10 sales, closed at 94.7% of the reduced price104 days
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 16 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 104 days and still closed at 94.7% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $20,000. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
14%Of sales included a seller credit
$4,000Typical credit when there was one
2 of 14Sales carrying a credit
A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.
How buyers paid
Cash 10 sales71%
Conventional 4 sales29%
Cash was 71% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
