Our Collier County MLS change log showed 71 pending listings return to active in four weeks to November 8, 2026, against 626 new pending contracts.

From October 12 to November 8, 2026, our Collier County MLS change log recorded 71 listings going from pending back to active and 626 listings going from active to pending, about 11.3 returns for every 100 new contracts. The weekly rate eased from 14.2 per 100 in the week to October 18 to 9.4 in the week to November 8. Homes asking under $500,000 came back at 14.3 per 100, against about 8 for homes at $1 million and above. Condos returned at 7.5 per 100 and single-family homes at 11.9. All figures are ours, computed from Collier County MLS records; information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

A listing that goes back on market usually means a contract ended before closing, often over inspection, financing, insurance or appraisal. Collier's rate ran below the 16.4 per 100 we measured over the same four weeks in Lee County and the 16.8 in Miami-Dade. The rate shows how firm contracts are, which complements our November 3 article on Collier price cuts by ZIP code and our October 30 article on Collier condos in a pending sale. Completed-month pace is in our Naples days on market article, and the full series is on the Naples market data hub.

How many Collier County contracts fell through each week?

Source: Momentum Research, computed from the Collier County MLS listing change log, October 12 to November 8, 2026. A change is counted when our refresh records it. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Across the two halves of the period, returns fell while contracts rose: 38 returns against 289 new pending in the two weeks to October 25 (13.1 per 100), then 33 against 337 in the two weeks to November 8 (9.8 per 100). More buyers signed contracts in late October and early November, and a smaller share of those deals came apart.

Which price ranges came back most often?

The rate fell at each step up the price scale. Homes under $500,000 accounted for 31 of the 71 returns, and the median listing that came back asked $595,000. Our Naples million-dollar contracts article covers the top of the market in more detail.

Did condos or houses come back more often?

Single-family homes came back at 11.9 per 100, 38 returns against 319 new contracts. Condos came back at 7.5 per 100, 18 against 239, the lowest rate of the main property types. Attached homes and townhouses together returned 9 times against 51 contracts, about 17.6 per 100, and manufactured homes 3 times against 11, both small counts.

Builder listings held up better than resales. New construction recorded 2 returns against 46 new contracts, 4.3 per 100, compared with 11.9 for resale homes.

Where in Collier County did listings return?

Source: Momentum Research, computed from the Collier County MLS listing change log, October 12 to November 8, 2026, by mailing city and ZIP code. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Most Collier listings carry a Naples mailing address, so ZIP codes give a finer read. ZIP 34120, which had the most cuts in our November 3 article, sat close to the county rate at 10.1 per 100. ZIP 34108 ran higher at 17.1 and 34119 lower at 3.8, but no ZIP code had more than 8 returns, so these figures move a lot on a few listings.

What happened to the homes after they came back?

The 71 returns covered 69 separate listings. By November 9, 12 had gone back under contract and 7 had cut their asking price after returning; none had closed. On our live map that day, 52 were active, 13 were pending and 4 had left the feed. For 35 listings where our log caught both the contract and the return, the median time spent pending was 5 days, which points to deals ending early in the inspection or financing period rather than near closing.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

For buyers, a home that just came back on market may have a seller ready to negotiate, though in Collier only 7 of the 69 returned listings had cut their price within weeks. Ask the listing agent why the earlier contract ended, and review the inspection, flood zone and insurance quote before writing an offer. Our Naples and Marco Island insurance pages, the Collier County property tax page and Collier County HOA fees by community help price the full monthly cost.

For sellers under $500,000, listings came back at about 14 for every 100 new contracts in this period, higher than the county rate. A pre-listing inspection and an insurance quote shared up front can reduce surprises during the contract period.

Limitations

Counts come from our listing change log, which records a status change when our refresh sees it and can miss quick changes or record them a day late. A listing can return more than once. Some returns may reflect status corrections rather than ended contracts. Property type follows the listing record, city is the mailing city, and new construction follows the listing agent's flag. Small groups, such as single ZIP codes, new construction and manufactured homes, move a lot on a few listings.
