Westlakes has seen home values move down notably over the past year, with the typical home value off about 17.75 percent. That contrasts with a slight 0.18 percent dip in nearby Bakersfield overall. Even with this pullback, Westlakes homes are still valued higher than the citywide typical value, at about $449,500 versus $415,000.
In the latest data from February 2026, asking prices have held steady, with a median list price of roughly $480,000 and no month-over-month change. Homes are selling more quickly, as the median 17 days on market is down more than 40 percent from both last month and last year, reflecting solid buyer interest.
Activity in this small neighborhood is limited, with just 1 home on the market, 5 new listings, and 4 pending sales, and inventory has been cut in half from the prior month. Sellers are still in a strong position overall, supported by a seller’s market reading and an average sale-to-list ratio essentially at 1.00, while about one in six sales close above the asking price. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values in Westlakes are projected around $425,500 with a projected list price again near $480,000 and effectively no inventory, signaling tight supply.
