Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Westgate real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in Westgate has climbed, with 24 homes on the market in March 2026 and 18 of those being new listings, even though new listings are down 10% from last year. At the same time, only 8 homes went under contract, which is 50% fewer pending sales than a year ago, showing that buyers are moving more slowly.
Despite this slower contract pace, homes are sitting much longer, with a median of 85 days on market that is unchanged month over month but up about 63% from last year. Even so, Westgate is still labeled a Seller's Market with a market gauge of 30, suggesting sellers retain some leverage even as activity cools.
Prices are adjusting upward as values respond to these conditions, with the typical home value at about $285,000, up 25% year over year and 3.64% from the prior month, though still below Metairie’s typical value of $373,500. Looking ahead to April 2026, the typical home value is projected to reach $290,000 and the median list price about $262,550, with roughly 25 homes expected to be on the market, and whether you are a buyer wanting to navigate these shifts or a seller aiming to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who knows how to help.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Westgate offers residents a friendly, walkable community with convenient access to parks, good schools, shopping, and dining, all within an approachable, suburban setting.
Westgate in Metairie offers a practical mix of residential comfort and suburban convenience, with easy access to Veterans Memorial Boulevard and I‑10 for commutes into New Orleans. Primarily composed of single family homes on tree lined streets, the neighborhood appeals to anyone who values driveability, walkable errands, and nearby schools.
Everyday amenities are close at hand. Shoppers rely on the retail and dining corridor along Veterans near Lakeside Shopping Center, while local groceries and services cluster along Cleary Avenue and West Esplanade. Families appreciate proximity to J. D. Meisler Middle School, Grace King High School, and parish facilities such as the East Bank Regional Library. Green space is accessible at LaSalle Park and the Shrine on Airline area, which hosts sports and community events.
Metairie’s broader offerings, including Lafreniere Park and Bonnabel Place, sit within a short drive, and the lakefront at Bucktown provides fishing piers and walking paths. Nearby Old Metairie brings additional dining and specialty shops, while Jefferson Parish services support utilities, permits, and recreation programs.
Because Westgate’s streets, school zones, and traffic patterns can be highly localized, a real estate agent who knows the area can explain which blocks best match your budget, commute, and lifestyle. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with Westgate experts so you can make decisions confidently and cut down on stress throughout the process.

“Tracy was wonderful to work with. She was accessible at all times. Even for my silly questions and my important ones. Overall, I was very satisfied and very happy with the outcome of the sale of my house. I would use her again to buy to buy a new home. She's very much the professional Realtor.”
“Fred was/is very attentive to our needs for certain amenities in our home. He is very responsive with communication and made the buying process easy and understandable for us as first-time buyers.”
“I work with dozens of agents across the country each month, and Melissa stands out as one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with. She delivers a high level of professionalism and polished representation in every interaction. Her advice is consistently honest, thoughtful, and precise, which adds real value throughout the transaction. Melissa also excels in deal management—keeping everything on track while maintaining clear, consistent communication among all parties to ensure timelines are met. A true professional and a strong asset to any client or team. Would highly recommend to friends & family.”
“Agent Pronto got me in touch with Patricia Halley Conaghan. She is, hands down, one of the best real estate agents around. I am in Oregon so it was long distance relationship. The property was no where ready to sell when I first listed. Many e-mails, phone calls, texts, and photos later we were able to get this property ready to sell. She lined up contractors and oversaw the work. It did not take long to sell with some creative financing. I couldn't be happier than I am with Patricia's work and support. She is AWESOME!!”
“Melanie Cook was very responsive and also answer any questions you may ask..She will walk you through every step of the way”
“Very easy to use. The agent selected was Anna Dunn. She was perfect. She was helpful and helped me the entire way.”
“Selecting our realtor, Mr. Joseph Dupard, through Agent Pronto was a blessing. I needed to list some estate property and being out of state made this difficult....Mr. Joseph Dupard was the best decision. Mr. Dupard is very knowledgeable about the area, professional, prompt, provided information to help me make the best decisions, explained information in layman's terms, and was assessable. I highly recommend him because he cares about his clients and their needs. ”
“Jen Burns was the only realtor that reached out to me. She was great to work with. We inherited this house and live out of state. Jen was so helpful and patient with all of our questions. She always answered her phone or texted right back. We highly recommend Jen Burns. She made the process so easy!”
“Gina was very helpful throughout the process of preparing and selling my home. She provided honest and constructive advice and feedback with a great eye for detail. Her experience and knowledge of the current market was very helpful in pricing and negotiating during the initial phases and during offer negotiations. Even during the unknown expectations of the COVID 19 pandemic, Gina was very reassuring yet realistic. I would recommend Gina as a reliable, responsive agent.”
“Scott Delhom took great care of us both with the sale of our old home & the purchase of our new home. Our experience with Scott was so wonderful that I referred my parents to him & he helped them find a new home also. I would highly recommend Scott Delhom for all of anyone’s realtor needs.”
