73,800 Florida listings came off the market unsold in the trailing 12 months — about 20 for every 100 new listings. Nobody advertises this number. It is the honest starting point for any seller whose home is sitting: failure is common, measurable, and in the recorded data, mostly about price behavior.
Failed = expired + withdrawn only; canceled listings are excluded as relist churn. Days-listed and never-cut figures come from our 2026 record sample and appear only where the county sample is large enough to be meaningful.
Across the 2026 sample, roughly four in ten failed listings never reduced their price, and the ones that did cut a median of about 6% — late and in small steps. Meanwhile successful sales in most counties close within a few percent of original ask in their first weeks. The gap between those two behaviors is the diagnosis. Each county page runs it with local numbers: Broward County, Palm Beach County, and every county in the table above.

No fear-bait and no false comfort. These are recorded counts from licensed feeds with the method stated, published because sellers deserve the same data agents see.
Failure rate: expired + withdrawn listings relative to new listings entering, trailing 12 months, per county from its authoritative MLS feed only (no cross-feed double counting); counties floor at 100 new listings. Behavior sample: expired/withdrawn records with 2026 terminal dates from feed event logs. General information, not advice; deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Equal Housing Opportunity.
One form, one local agent, no call center: every step above lands on the same seller form or a records-based answer.

Across the 34 Florida counties we track from authoritative MLS feeds, 73,800 listings expired or were withdrawn unsold in the trailing 12 months - about 20 for every 100 new listings entering the market. Rates vary widely by county; see the table.
In our 2026 sample of failed listings, the dominant recorded pattern is price behavior: a large share never reduced price at all, and those that did cut a median of only about 6%, usually late. Condition, presentation, and access matter - but price relative to closed comparables is the variable failed listings most consistently got wrong.
No. In Florida MLS feeds, canceled listings are dominated by cancel-and-relist and agent-switch churn, not failure, so every failure figure on these pages counts expired and withdrawn listings only.
