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

Kent County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 42 and conditions still favoring those listing homes. Months of supply has risen to 3.5, up nearly 29% from last year, indicating more options for buyers even as sellers retain some leverage.

Home values show steady upward pressure, with the typical home value up about 4% year over year to roughly $364,000. At the same time, the median list price is slightly lower than a year ago and down more than 6% from last month, suggesting sellers may be pricing more realistically to attract offers.

Listing activity and pace highlight a mixed but active environment. Active listings are up modestly year over year, new listings have increased nearly 5%, and the share of homes selling above list price has climbed to about 28%, while homes are still taking around 42 days to sell on median and Kent County remains a bit more affordable than Delaware overall. In this kind of shifting market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands these trends.

“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.”

“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.”
