Kent County real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kent County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

Kent County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 30 indicating they still hold the advantage. This status reflects 4.6 months of supply, 518 active listings, and homes spending a median of 45 days on the market.

Prices show a mixed pattern, as the typical home value of about $330,000 is down 1.5% year over year while the median list price has climbed to roughly $365,300. At the same time, nearly 17% of listings have price drops, about 24% of homes sell above list, and sellers are receiving just under 99.1% of asking price on average.

Trends in activity help explain the balance, with new listings down 22.3% and pending sales down 29.3% compared with last year, even as inventory is up 1.37%. Compared with Delaware overall, typical home values in Kent County sit slightly below the state’s $352,500 level, and both are projected to edge down modestly in the coming month while list prices in the county may rise toward $379,950. In this kind of nuanced seller-leaning market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifts and can guide them through the process.

“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.”

“We would rate working with Anthony Sacco a 10 . Anthony Sacco went above and beyond on every level to help sell our house in Rehoboth Beach. Anthony Sacco was able to really reduce the stress of selling our home especially since we live two hours away. We 100% trusted Anthony Sacco with whatever needed to get done in the process if we couldn't make it down to Delaware. Anthony Sacco was always there to offer his help and assistance. We have bought and sold quite a few houses - the experience we had with Anthony Sacco was top notch from beginning to end. We cannot thank you enough Anthony Sacco - you are simply the best!”

“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.”

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.”
