Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).

Kent County currently leans toward sellers, with a market gauge of 41 indicating conditions that still favor owners but are not overly aggressive. Months of supply sit at 3.3, below the 4.1 months seen statewide in Delaware, suggesting inventory is tighter locally than in the broader state.

Prices show steady upward movement, as the typical home value is about $359,000 and has risen roughly 4 percent over the past year. Listing prices are climbing a bit faster, up nearly 6 percent year over year, while the average sale-to-list ratio of 98.4 percent shows buyers and sellers are negotiating close to asking prices.

Activity has shifted in mixed ways, with homes sold up about 8 percent year over year even as pending sales are down nearly 14 percent and new listings have dipped slightly. Homes are taking longer to sell at a median of 51 days on market, yet inventory has held roughly flat compared with last year and about 23 percent of properties still close above list price, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from having an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to guide their decisions.

“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!”

“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.”

Additionally, Jetta kept our interest as a priority and resolved every issue ethically and efficiently.”
