West Bay Ph 1
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
West Bay Ph 1 is a compact, built-out pocket of 113 homes raised between 1995 and 1999, and that tight construction window is what really drives pricing here. With a median just over $520,000 and a median around $288 per square foot on roughly 2,238 square feet, the spread you see between listings is almost entirely a condition-and-updates story rather than a floor-plan or vintage story. Homes are close enough in age and size that renovated kitchens, roofs, and systems are what separate the top of the market from the bottom.
Posture right now favors prepared sellers. A median of about 11.5 days on market tells you well-presented homes move quickly, but with only four closings in the window, that speed rests on a thin sample — one or two atypical sales can swing the read. Buyers should be ready to act on a clean listing without overreacting to the low day count, and sellers should not assume every home clears fast; the ones that do tend to be the ones that show turnkey.
The 60-Second Overview
West Bay Ph 1 market snapshot (as of July 13, 2026): the median sale price is about $521K ($288 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 12 days on market for closed sales.
West Bay Ph 1 is a community of 113 homes in Tampa, Hillsborough County, built between 1995 and 1999 (median 1996.0), with a median living area of about 2,238 square feet. 76% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
A small, fully established Tampa community in Hillsborough County where the homes share a narrow late-1990s vintage, so buyers are comparing updates and upkeep more than eras or square footage.
Who West Bay Ph 1 is best for.
Best for

The West Bay Ph 1 buying strategy.
If we were buying in West Bay Ph 1 today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in West Bay Ph 1.
A condition-driven resale market
With every home built inside a five-year window and a median size near 2,238 square feet, West Bay Ph 1 behaves like a mature resale neighborhood rather than a mix of old and new. That means the pricing conversation lands on age-of-roof, HVAC, and interior updates. Late-1990s construction is now at the point where major systems are either recently replaced or approaching replacement, and that distinction shows up directly in what a home fetches.
The homestead share sitting around 76 percent points to a largely owner-occupied community, which tends to correlate with steady upkeep and a limited flow of listings at any given time. For a buyer, that can mean patience — inventory is finite and turnover is modest. For a seller, it means your competition is usually small but well-maintained, so presentation matters.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in West Bay Ph 1. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
