“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Octavia Williams. She originally helped my Nana purchase her home in Delaware after she moved there from New York, and my Nana always spoke so highly of her. She constantly raved about Octavia’s professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and the way she genuinely cared about her clients.My Nana would always tell me, “If I ever pass away, I want Octavia to sell my home.” Sadly, my Nana passed away, and when the time came to sell her home, I immediately reached out to Octavia. She jumped right in and handled everything with such professionalism, compassion, and care.Selling my Nana’s home while also handling her estate was an emotional and overwhelming process, but Octavia made things so much easier. She was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and went above and beyond to help me navigate not only the sale of the home but also different Delaware resources and aspects of the estate that I needed. My Nana chose her the first time, and now I know why!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Year-over-year trends in Elsmere show notable price growth paired with shifting pace. Typical home values over the rolling three-month period are up more than 10% from a year ago, while the median list price has climbed nearly 22%, signaling sellers are testing higher price points.
In the latest rolling three-month view through July 2026, inventory and sales activity tell a mixed story. Active listings are up about 12% compared with last year, yet months of supply has fallen more than 55% to just 1.2 months, keeping conditions firmly in a seller’s market.
Demand indicators reveal both strength and some moderation. Homes sold are up more than 75% year over year, but pending sales are slightly lower and the share selling above list has edged down to about half of closings, with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 100%, and buyers and sellers can both lean on Agent Pronto to find an agent who understands how to navigate these dynamics.

“If you're buying or selling in Delaware Kazy is the man to turn to. Extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. He set expectations high and exceeded them repeatedly. Highly recommend him to anyone dealing with real estate buying or selling.”
“Edward Cole was friendly and knowledgable. He helped us navigate a confusing home buying process with ease and connected us with great services to help us along the way. Appreciate his contributions immensely!”
“Working with Joe Walker as our real estate agent in Delaware was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the local market gave us confidence at every stage of the process, and he consistently provided clear, well-informed guidance that helped us make the right decisions. Joe was incredibly responsive and accessible, always making himself available to answer questions and keep us updated, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. What truly set Joe apart was how well he listened to our needs and priorities in a home. He was patient throughout the journey, never rushing us, and remained supportive as we worked through various challenges along the way. His communication was always clear and transparent, and his personable approach made us feel comfortable and valued as clients. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in purchasing our home and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
“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.”
“Mary Ann understood what I wanted and found just the right home! I could not be happier with the price we paid. She helped get us a credit after the inspection showed plumbing issues. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”
“Jetta was recommended to me by Octavia and I completely see why she came recommended. She took care of my family and I the entire time even through emergency situations we had to deal with outside of the home purchase. Jetta was reliable, communicative and highly supportive every step of the way. She ensured that we had every answer to question we had. Additionally, Jetta kept our interest as a priority and resolved every issue ethically and efficiently.”
“Cathy was great to work with! She was very responsive and as soon as I placed my request, she contacted me and got things in motion. Thank you for all your help.”
“Jessy was and still is an amazing realator. She was extremely organized, great at communicating often and checking it and always honest and open with me. She strived to check every aspect of each home that was important to me to be sure I found the perfect house for me. She continues to support me and communicate with me and I'm so happy to have had a friend recommend her to me. Jessy is an absolute delight to work with any anyone would be lucky to have her help in finding and purchasing their first home.”
“Chris Pataki was our agent and when I tell you that there is no one better, believe me. There isn't. Chris was responsive, caring, concerned, and a guiding force through our home buying process. He found us a beautiful home that appraised over the asking price and in a very competitive market. Chris is knowledgeable and goes beyond expectations making sure that our closing was smooth and our home ready for move-in. If you are looking for a realtor who just doesn't sell you a home but helps you acclimate to a location, he is your guy. Coming from the Penn State area, he was able to explain neighborhoods and home values. He is a class act and we will always consider him more than just our realtor but a new friend!”
