Dover real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Dover real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Dover is currently tilting toward sellers, with the market gauge at 23 and labeled a Seller's Market. Homes take a median of 66 days to sell, yet buyers do not see deep discounts, as the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially 1.00. About one third of recent sales closed above the asking price, while one in five listings saw a price drop, showing a mix of strong demand and selective pricing.
Home values have been climbing quickly in Dover, with the typical home value up 18.57% year over year to about $311,250. List prices are also moving higher, rising 6.32% month over month to a median of $327,995 even as homes sit on the market longer than last year. Inventory has grown to 110 homes, an increase of 5.77% from last month and 13.4% from a year ago, giving buyers somewhat more choice without tipping the balance away from sellers.
New listings, at around 40 for the month and down 21.57% year over year, have not kept pace with demand, while pending sales are down 28.79%, suggesting some buyers may be pausing or being priced out. Months of supply sits at 4.6, which is close to balanced but still leans toward sellers, especially compared with Kent County overall, where typical values are slightly higher at $330,000. With Dover’s typical home value projected to rise to about $329,425 and inventory expected to edge up to 113, both buyers and sellers can benefit from working with an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate the shifting conditions.

Learn more about what Dover has to offer.
Dover offers residents a welcoming community with a rich history, vibrant local events, ample green spaces, quality schools, and convenient access to shops, dining, and cultural attractions.
Dover feels distinct from nearby coastal towns and suburbs, offering a blend of historic core, active military presence, and everyday convenience that gives it a strong local identity. The tree lined streets around Loockerman Street mix longtime institutions with new cafés, while the historic The Green anchors the city’s role in state and national history.
Residents enjoy regular events at Legislative Mall, performances at the Schwartz Center for the Arts, and racing weekends at Dover Motor Speedway. Everyday life stays convenient, with shopping corridors off Route 13 and quick access north toward Wilmington or south to Sussex County.
Outdoor time revolves around Silver Lake Park and the trails at Brewers Mill Park, while families appreciate resources like the Dover Public Library and nearby schools and campuses. Cultural and educational attractions, including the Air Mobility Command Museum and John Dickinson Plantation, offer depth well beyond a typical small city.
Whether you are moving across town from Rodney Village or relocating for work at the base, timing matters. Inventory, interest rates, and local competition can shift quickly.

“Kazy was patient with me, I was being very selective in choosing a potential property. The process lasted well over a year. He never pressured me into anything I didn't want, and was quickly supportive whenever I had a question or wanted to look at a property. When the right place came up he was quick to act, and his negotiating tactics were pivotal in ensuring that I got the house, despite there being a bidding war on the property. Beyond his business expertise, he's a good person and someone I eagerly recommend to anyone else looking for a place.”

“With this being my first home buying experience, I had no idea what to expect. Dave Johnson set the standard, if I unfortunately have to use someone else in the future. He made everything very understandable, gave great tips, insight, and clearly explained every step of the process so nothing was lost in translation, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience working with him, and with my purchase several months into homeownership. It's almost like he was born for it.”

His knowledge of the landscape gave us valuable insight and confidence in our decisions. He consistently provided honest advice, and we felt that he truly had our best interests at heart. Joe kept us informed on important deadlines and requirements. Challenges that arose were quickly addressed with calm and efficiency, helping us navigate what could have been a stressful experience with ease.
