Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Palm Beach County rate (18.72 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
Current owner’s estimated bill $6,925/yr ($577/mo) — taxable value $369,775 × 18.72 mills
$750 less each year
(−11%)
The current taxable value ($369,775) is above the asking price. After a sale the assessment is typically set from market value, which here would be lower than the current taxable value, so the estimate is lower. Confirm with the county property appraiser — the appraiser, not the sale price, sets the assessment.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$437,460the mess$557,920
Stronger local evidence — 4 comparable closed sales in WATERWAY COVE OF WELLINGTON, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $379,900 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 28% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a 1992 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $40/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
0 active listings competing, 1 under contract
≈6.0 months of supply
2 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $379,900 ($240/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Methodology: 1,585 sq ft × $276–$352/sq ft (±12% around the median of 4 comparable closed sales in WATERWAY COVE OF WELLINGTON, last 18 months; MLS closed-sale records). Estimate for general information only; not an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 3, 2026.

Items worth confirming for 1296 Waterway Cove Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
Built in 1992 (34 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.

Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Palm Beach County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
Listed living area is 1,585 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1296 Waterway Cove Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1296 Waterway Cove Drive was built in 1992 and has 1,585 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1296 Waterway Cove Drive in?
1296 Waterway Cove Drive is in Waterway Cove Of Wellington in Wellington, Palm Beach County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 1296 Waterway Cove Drive have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $40 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 1296 Waterway Cove Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $6,175 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $750 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−11%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 1296 Waterway Cove Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
