The Valencia Trails Market This Week
Every home for sale, pending, and just closed on our streets — priced by floor plan, with the context the portals can’t give you. I live here; these are my neighbors’ sales.

Thursday was the whole week in miniature. A Pelican closed at exactly its $950,000 asking price — the third closing since May 1 to bring full ask — and a few streets over, a Pearl with a private pool came on at $1,299,000, the community’s first new listing in two weeks. The day before, the $2,150,000 preserve-lot Captiva that went under contract in nine days cleared its contingencies; if it closes anywhere near asking, it will top every closed sale in our May–August window (the current high is $1,825,000). Add three asking-price cuts of $15,000–$40,000 among the actives, and the scoreboard reads: inventory 20 → 21, supply back up to about 4.3 months. August now has five closings totaling $6.4M — the strongest month by dollar volume since May.
One honest note on “full price”: full price means the final asking price was right — not that the first one was. Community-wide, the median active listing advertises ~91 days on market, but cumulative market time across expired-and-relisted attempts runs a median ~149 days, and 8 of the 21 homes for sale are on at least their second attempt. Pricing right on day one is still the whole game.
Four homes open their doors Sunday — and every one of them runs 1:00–3:00 PM, so a single afternoon loop covers a Flamingo, a Pearl, and two Captivas: four plans, three collections, a $1.1M price spread. Common courtesy: if you visit an open house and already work with an agent you trust, please let the hosting agent know.
