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.

This was a week of subtraction. Two homes closed — a Seabreeze at $1,120,000 on August 28 and a Sunrise at $1,390,000 on August 31 — and two more went under contract on back-to-back days, August 31 and September 1. Both of those new contracts were priced under $810,000, which is where the buyers have been all summer. Against those four departures: zero new listings. Nothing has come on the market in Valencia Trails since August 27. Active inventory fell 21 → 19 and supply eased from about 4.3 months to about 4.1.
Those two closings also finished August’s books: seven sales totaling $8.88M, the strongest month in our four-month window — ahead of June’s $5.67M and more than double July’s $3.53M. Every one of the seven had a private pool. One asking price moved this week: a Pearl came down $16,000. And the $2,150,000 preserve-lot Captiva that cleared contingencies last week is still pending; if it closes near asking it will top every sale in this window.
Five homes open Sunday, and the times stack rather than collide: start at noon on Lotus Ave, catch three more at one o’clock, and finish at four on Periwinkle. Four floor plans, a $525,000 price spread, one afternoon. Common courtesy: if you visit an open house and already work with an agent you trust, please let the hosting agent know.

Sale prices from Collier County public records and recent MLS data, as of September 4, 2026. This report covers a rolling four-month window: three May 1 closings shown in earlier editions ($1,210,000, $1,150,000 and $1,125,000) have now aged out, which is why the median closed price reads $1,325,000 against $1,210,000 last week — a change in which sales are counted, not in values. Plan identification from listing remarks where stated, otherwise matched by living area — verify per home. $/sq ft is rounded simple division for orientation only.
The median active listing in Valencia Trails now advertises 109 days on market, up from 91 last week. Read carelessly, that looks like homes got harder to sell. The opposite happened. The two homes that went under contract had been listed 25 days and 53 days — both well below the old median. When the fastest homes leave the pool, the average of what remains gets older. A rising median days-on-market in a week with no new listings is a sign of absorption, not stagnation.
The deeper number is still the one nobody advertises. When a listing expires and re-lists, the MLS clock resets to zero, so the days-on-market you see on a portal can be a fraction of the real elapsed time. Counting every attempt, the median home for sale here has been on the market a median ~156 days, and 7 of the 19 active listings are on a second or later attempt. That gap — 109 advertised against ~156 actual — is the single most useful thing on this page if you are deciding what to ask.
Valencia Trails is 838 homes across 15 GL Homes floor plans in four collections. The community-wide median is a headline; the plan is the market. Every plan with current resale activity:

No current resale activity: Coral, Oceana, Marina, Bonita. Medians on 1–2 sales are those sales, not a trend. The Pearl line is the one to watch: four of the 19 homes for sale are Pearls, and not one Pearl has closed inside this four-month window — the last one sold May 1, 2026 at $1,210,000.
