Momentum Realty data release · November 12, 2026
More than 1 in 3 Northeast Florida listings that left the market in October failed to sell
In October 2026, 37% of Northeast Florida listings that left the market failed to sell: 1,179 listings expired, were withdrawn or were canceled, against 1,987 that closed (all home types, realMLS). Statewide, the pattern holds from the Space Coast to the Keys: across the six Florida MLS regions where we publish the measure, 37% to 52% of October exits ended without a sale.

Key findings
- Northeast Florida: 37% failed to sell. Of listings that left the market in October 2026, 1,179 expired, were withdrawn or canceled and 1,987 closed, so 37% exited without a sale (all home types, Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau and surrounding counties). Northeast Florida Market Pulse
- Statewide: 37% to 52%. The same measure was 37% on the Space Coast, 46% on the Emerald Coast, 47% in the Palm Beaches and Daytona Beach, and 52% in the Florida Keys, where more listings left unsold (147) than closed (135).
- More than half of Northeast Florida listings have cut price. 56% of active listings had at least one price reduction as of November 12, 2026. Across the six regions the share ranged from 42% (Keys) to 56%.
- The median overstates price growth. Northeast Florida's single-family median rose 4.0% year over year to $395,000 in October, but the same house, sold twice, rose only 1.5% a year (owners who bought 1 to 3 years earlier). The gap was wider on the Emerald Coast (median +9.2%, same home +1.6%) and in the Keys (+19.5% vs +3.6%).
- St. Johns County was flat. The St. Johns County single-family median was $564,750 in October on 392 closings, 0.0% from a year earlier and 1.6% below its 2022 peak, with a median 44 days on market. Duval rose 3.7% to $337,000 on 749 closings. County table

Central Florida (Stellar MLS), South Florida, Southwest Florida, Pensacola and Panama City editions do not publish the failed-to-sell share this month (the measure is suppressed where the off-market feed is incomplete), so they are left out rather than estimated.
How we measured
- Failed to sell is our Failed Resolution Share: (expired + withdrawn + canceled) divided by (expired + withdrawn + canceled + closed), for listings that left the market during October 2026, all residential home types. It describes seller outcomes, not the share of all inventory that is failing. A withdrawn listing may return to market later.
- Price cuts: share of active listings, as of November 12, 2026, whose current list price is below their original list price.
- Median: single-family closed sales in October 2026 compared with October 2025. Same home: the annualized change for the same parcel sold twice, where the earlier purchase was 1 to 3 years before a sale in the trailing 12 months.
- Source: MLS records (realMLS for Northeast Florida; each region's MLS as named in its Market Pulse), closings through November 11, 2026. Every figure on this page appears in the linked October 2026 Market Pulse editions.
