The 100% Commission Real Estate Brokerage in Westchase.

The Westchase market right now (mid-2026)

Westchase is a master-planned, deed-restricted suburb in unincorporated northwest Hillsborough County — golf, top-rated schools, and HOA communities built for affluent families and Tampa professionals. In mid-2026 it reads as a normalized, roughly flat market. The community median sale price sits near $505,000 (Movoto, July 2026), with Redfin's Westchase figure clustering around $515,000, essentially flat year over year (Redfin, mid-2026). Price per square foot tells the firmer side of the story at $311, up 11.1% year over year (Redfin, mid-2026) — a sign that quality, updated inventory is still commanding a premium even as headline medians hold steady.

Homes are taking a median ~40–57 days to sell depending on the tracker (Redfin / Zillow, mid-2026) — slower than the frantic sub-30-day pace of a year ago, but well inside Florida's statewide norms. For agents, that's the tell: Westchase deals are absolutely closing, but they now take real pricing discipline, staging, and negotiation rather than listing at any number and waiting for a bidding war.

One community, many price tiers: villages and townhomes

The single "Westchase median" hides a wide spread across its villages, and knowing the tiers is where agents earn their fee. On the luxury end, Harbor Links homes average roughly $1.12M and The Greens about $893,000, with Radcliffe near $842,000 and Bennington around $668,000 (Zillow / local listing data, 2026) — golf-frontage and larger-lot villages that draw executive relocations and move-up buyers. On the attainable end, West Park Village townhomes carry a median list price near $502,000 and move in about 28 days (Redfin / Zillow, 2026), feeding the walkable, restaurant-lined town-center lifestyle that pulls in younger professionals and downsizers.

That range — attainable townhomes to seven-figure golf estates inside one HOA-governed community — means an agent who understands each village's HOA structure, CDD assessments, and school-boundary nuances can serve buyers from $500K to $1M+ without ever leaving the neighborhood. Fluency in the villages is the differentiator here.

Who's buying, and the 2025–26 shifts

Demand in Westchase is structurally family-driven. The draw is consistent: top-rated Hillsborough schools, two golf courses, tennis, parks, and a gated-community feel minutes from the Veterans Expressway and Tampa International Airport. Buyers skew toward affluent families, established Tampa professionals, and out-of-state relocations chasing the school-and-amenity package — the same relocation wave that keeps roughly a third to 40% of broader Tampa Bay purchases coming from out of state (Tampa Bay market reporting, 2026).

Two shifts define 2025–26. First, inventory has rebuilt — Tampa Bay hit roughly 32,000 active listings in June 2026, and Hillsborough is now a buyer-leaning county at a median ~62 days to sell, though single-family supply is still a near-balanced 3.6 months (STAR/Stellar MLS reporting, 2026). Second, carrying costs are the negotiation: Tampa homeowners insurance averages about $2,400/year (insurance-market guides, 2026), and rising premiums, HOA dues, and CDD fees have made buyers more cautious and more analytical. The good news for 2026 is that insurance rate growth has finally moderated, with some Florida carriers filing modest reductions — agents who can walk a buyer through an HOA budget, a CDD line item, and an insurance quote are winning listings their competitors fumble.

MLS, association, and the commission math

Westchase agents join the Suncoast Tampa Association of REALTORS® (STAR) — formed in 2024 when Greater Tampa REALTORS® merged with the Pinellas and Central Pasco associations to become one of the nation's largest REALTOR® bodies, covering Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco. Listings run through Stellar MLS, the same MLS that spans Tampa Bay, Orlando, and most of Central and Southwest Florida — so one membership lets you work Westchase, South Tampa, and the I-4 corridor on a single license.

Now the math at Westchase prices. A 3% side on the ~$505,000 median (Movoto, July 2026) is about $15,150 in gross commission. At a 20% split brokerage, roughly $3,030 of that goes to the house on that one deal; at 30%, about $4,545 — before any monthly fees. At Gromadzki it's a flat $499. Scale it up: an agent closing 10 sides a year at the $505K median grosses about $151,500 at 3% per side. A 20% split takes roughly $30,300; a 30% split takes about $45,450. Gromadzki takes $4,990 — flat — leaving $25,000–$40,000 more per year with the agent, in a market where longer days-on-market already mean every closing costs more time and marketing than it used to.
