Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Hockessin’s rolling three-month data shows a market with active movement but tighter inventory. Active listings are up about 14 percent year over year, yet months of supply has dropped sharply to 1.8, down more than 40 percent from last year. Homes sold have climbed by roughly 45 percent compared with a year ago, indicating more deals are getting to the finish line even with leaner supply.
Prices are responding to this imbalance between buyers and available homes. The typical home value over the last three months is up about 21 percent from a year earlier, while the median list price has risen only slightly, just over 2 percent annually. That gap suggests many sellers are ultimately achieving stronger final sale prices than list trends alone might imply.
Time on market has lengthened compared with last fall, with the median days on market at 38 versus much faster sales a year ago, though nearly half of homes still go off the market within two weeks. About a quarter of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 98 percent, showing buyers are paying close to asking when they commit. With both upward price pressure and low inventory shaping decisions, buyers and sellers in Hockessin can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a local agent who understands these dynamics.

“Octavia had an excellent track record in Delaware in representing both the seller and buyer, which was very important to me during my selection process. In my initial discussions, she shared with me her comprehensive knowledge of real estate in general, and more specifically, the Delaware market. I had total confidence in her abilities, and she exceeded my expectations by having a bona fide offer in less than two weeks of listing the property. We closed 30 days later. I highly recommend Octavia to anyone who is buying or selling property in Delaware. She is a consummate professional with an impressive track record.”

“We can’t recommend Dan Deckelbaum highly enough! From start to finish, he was patient, detail, oriented, and respectful of our needs. Every home he showed us met the criteria we set, including location, space, and budget, so we never felt like our time was wasted. Our search took over a year, and Dan never lost his drive. He kept at it until we found exactly what we were looking for. We are so grateful for all his hard work and would gladly work with him again. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly listens and won’t give up on you, Dan is the one!”

She made the entire home-buying process feel much less overwhelming by taking the time to truly listen and understand what we were looking for. She was incredibly easy to talk to, connected with us right away, and never hesitated to pivot whenever our needs or vision changed. LaShawn quickly understood exactly what we were trying to accomplish and guided us through every step of the process with patience and expertise. She educated us on what to expect, was always responsive, communicated clearly, and made sure we felt informed and confident in every decision. Her negotiation skills were outstanding, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. To conclude, LaShawn helped us find what we were looking for and close in just over a month!

“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.”

“Dave was an excellent realtor who was a very patient, knowledgeable, and caring professional who I could count on in every aspect of my selling my home. I am grateful that I selected Dave as my realtor. My two biggest concerns were selling at a price that would spark an offer and not to go too low and to sell my home quickly- and Dave helped me fulfill those two objectives.”

“I just had to give Nicole Duncan of Crown Homes a 5-star review because of our wonderful experience with her! She sold us our new home as well as selling our old home. Nicole is very patient, answered all of our questions, and never got frazzled when there were hiccups along the way. Thank you, Nicole! She also went out of her way to get the correct repair people after the home inspection to make the sale of our old home go smoothly. She communicated with us promptly and found out any answers that she didn’t know. Nicole is a very pleasant person and a trust-worthy professional. We would not hesitate to refer her to our friends and family.”
