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 25, 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 26 – September 23, 2026): this week the September 23 closing entered and the May 22 closing aged out, and the median did not move.
Two listings left the market this week without a sale: a Pelican at $824,900 with a private pool, and a Captiva at $1,675,000 — the only Captiva on the board without a pool. Both were on at least their second attempt, and each had been listed more than 300 days, counting every attempt. Nothing new came on (the most recent listing dates to September 17), nothing came back, and no home went under contract. Active inventory fell 25 → 23 and supply eased from about 5.4 months to about 5.1 — but the drop came from listings leaving, not from buyers.
One sale closed: the Sandpiper that went under contract at $749,000 — the least expensive of last week’s four contracts — closed September 23 at $725,000, 96.8% of its final asking price. Two asking prices came down: a Pearl with a pool and a lake view, $1,299,000 → $1,275,000, and a Captiva with a pool and a preserve view, $1,975,000 → $1,925,000.
Five open houses at four homes. Ours, 11871 Gardenia Ave, is open both days — Saturday 1:00–3:00 and Sunday 2:00–4:00. Saturday also has a Flamingo; Sunday brings a Lotus Ave Pearl with a pool, a spa and a lake view, and the Marina, the only home of its plan for sale. Common courtesy: if you visit an open house and already work with an agent you trust, please let the hosting agent know.

See details & current listingsInventory can fall for two very different reasons: buyers take homes off the board, or sellers do. This week it was entirely the second.

Sale prices from Collier County public records and recent MLS data, as of September 25, 2026. This report covers a rolling four-month window (May 26 – September 23, 2026); the May 22 closing 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 75 days on market, up from 70. The MLS’s cumulative figure — which survives a quick relist — reads 113 (was 108), and counting every earlier attempt the median home on this board has been for sale about 160 days (was about 153). Last week five returning homes reset their clocks and muddied all three numbers; this week nothing came on and nothing came back, so no clock was reset and every listing simply aged seven days.
14 of the 23 homes for sale are on at least their second attempt — 6 that the MLS counts as relists, and 8 more whose clocks were reset by a gap between attempts — and both homes that left this week were relists too. One more honest detail: the MLS’s cumulative clock keeps running while a home is under contract, which is why this report uses it only for homes still for sale, never for pending or closed ones.
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 23 homes for sale are Pearls and not one Pearl has closed inside this four-month window; one Pearl cut its asking price $24,000 this week.
