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.

Source: recent MLS data and Collier County public records, as of September 18, 2026. Figures are community-wide medians — floor plan, lot, view, pool, and condition move individual values substantially. Closed sales are a rolling four-month window (May 22 – September 8, 2026); no sale entered or aged out this week.
Five listings arrived between September 15 and 17: two Pearls at $1,099,000 and $1,125,000, and three Sunrises at $1,450,000, $1,525,000 and $1,595,000. Every one of the five had been for sale earlier this year. Their earlier attempts ran 82 to 177 days and ended between May 31 and Aug 5, expired or cancelled; the homes came back after 41 to 107 days off the market. Three returned below their earlier asking price — by $4,000, $24,000 and $48,000 — and two came back at the same price. All five came back with the days-on-market clock reading 1, 2 or 3 days, including the MLS’s cumulative clock. Active inventory rose 22 → 25 and supply moved from about 4.5 months to about 5.4.
Two homes went under contract, and both sit above $1.3M: a Seabreeze at $1,325,000 that went pending September 13 — the day after its Saturday open house, and within two weeks of a $25,000 reduction — and a Sunrise at $1,399,000 that went pending September 17 after eight days on the market. Last week both homes under contract were the two least expensive listings in the community; this week the top half of the board moved. No closing was recorded this week, the first edition of this report without one. That is not alarming on its own: between June 18 and July 15 there were 27 days without a closing, and closings are sometimes recorded late. One asking price changed: a Sunrise came down $16,000 to $1,399,000.
Six homes, one afternoon, one start time. Every open house this weekend opens at 1:00 on Sunday — four run until 4:00, two until 3:00 — so plan a route rather than a list. Three of the six are Pearls (2,450–2,505 sq ft) at $1,099,000, $1,125,000 and $1,299,000, which makes it the second straight weekend that plan can be compared door to door. Common courtesy: if you visit an open house and already work with an agent you trust, please let the hosting agent know.

Open-house schedule from MLS as of September 18, 2026 — times can change; confirm before you go. Listings and open houses hosted by other brokerages are shown for information; this report is not intended to solicit property already listed.
2,209 sq ft, 2023 build, preserve view with west sunset exposure, full outdoor kitchen. No public open house this weekend — it shows privately, on short notice, and this report’s comps come with the tour. A Realty ONE Group MVP listing · presented by The Nicholas Nolan Team.
See details & current listingsA listing that expires or is cancelled and then re-enters the MLS gets a new listing number and, if enough time has passed, a fresh days-on-market clock — including the cumulative one this report has leaned on for six weeks. All five of this week’s arrivals are in that position. None is identified here by address; the point is the pattern, not the house.

Sale prices from Collier County public records and recent MLS data, as of September 18, 2026. This report covers a rolling four-month window (May 22 – September 8, 2026); nothing entered or aged out this week. Week-to-week moves in the median can reflect which sales are inside the window rather than any change 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 70 days on market, down from 88. For six weeks this report has answered that number with the MLS’s cumulative figure, which survives a quick relist — and that fell too, from 125 to 108. Both fell for one reason: five homes came back on with every clock reset to 1, 2 or 3 days. A listing that re-enters after a long enough gap gets a fresh cumulative count, and all five had been off the market 41 to 107 days.
So this week the check goes one step further: every active listing cross-referenced against this year’s expired, cancelled and withdrawn listings at the same address. 16 of the 25 homes for sale have been for sale before this year — 8 that the MLS still counts as relists, and 8 more whose clocks were reset. Counting those earlier attempts, the median home on this board has really been for sale about 153 days. A correction, too: last week this report said 8 of 22 listings were relists. That was the MLS count. Run the same cross-check on last week’s board and it was 11 of 22 — including the Marina described as new to the board, which had also been for sale earlier this year.
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, Bonita. Medians on 1–2 sales are those sales, not a trend. The Pearl line is still open: six of the 25 homes for sale are Pearls, up from four, and not one Pearl has closed inside this four-month window — the last sold May 1, 2026 at $1,210,000.
