With only two active listings, fifteen sales since January 1, and an average of less than 40 days on the market for active listings Westchase Village is one hot Southeast Texas community.

What makes this Beaumont, Texas neighborhood so hot? The great location doesn’t hurt.  Neither do the high quality new construction homes.  Three of the areas well-known builders participate in building homes in Westchase.

• Nichols Company
• Bill Little
• Marino Homebuilders

The average price per square foot in Westchase is approximately $120.  Two homes closed at over $140 per square foot.  Now that’s good quality.  The average sales price this year is $357,829. 

Homes vary from 2200 square feet to over 3400 square feet.  The majority (12 of the 15) closed homes offered 4 bedrooms.  It is fair to say you will find most of the modern amenities when purchasing a home in Westchase Village.  Granite counter tops, crown molding, high ceilings, double sinks, jetted bathtubs are some of the luxuries that make these homes worth their lofty prices.  If you can’t stretch your budget to the mid 300’s, you can still afford one of the smaller homes in the neighborhood.  There have been two sales under $260,000 this year.  Both homes were approximately 2300 square feet. 

So far there have not been very many resales in this new neighborhood.  Only four of the sales this year have been resales.  The remaining sales have been new construction bought from the builder.  Everyone loves new construction.  New home smell may be better than new car smell. 

It looks like the three home-builders and fifteen astute home buyers found a winner in Westchase Village.  Sales have been hot all year and even though summers almost over the sales in this community don’t appear to be cooling off anytime soon.
