Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kent County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Kent County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge reading 35 and still below the state’s 3.7 months of supply. With 3.2 months of supply and a median days on market of 41, homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago but inventory is not yet high enough to shift power to buyers.
Prices are moving up, yet not at an extreme pace. The typical home value is up about 6 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed at a similar rate even as it dipped slightly compared to last month.
Inventory and demand are both expanding, which helps explain the current balance. Active listings have risen more than 11 percent over the past year and new listings are up modestly, while pending sales have grown about 4 percent and roughly 31 percent of homes are still selling above list with an average sale-to-list ratio near 99 percent. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these conditions and can help them navigate the Kent County market effectively.
Kent County offers residents a welcoming mix of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant communities, strong schools and essential services, and a growing economy with convenient access to regional amenities.
Kent County combines small city convenience with easy access to both beaches and major job centers. Centered on Dover, the county offers a practical mix of established neighborhoods, new construction, and rural properties that appeal to a wide range of budgets and lifestyles.
Everyday needs are straightforward here. Shopping and dining cluster around Dover’s commercial corridors, while historic Dover offers walkable streets near the Old State House. Families appreciate resources like the Dover Public Library and regional healthcare at Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus. Commuters can reach New Castle County or Sussex County via Route 1, with easy weekend trips to the Delaware Bay shoreline and popular Atlantic beaches.
Outdoor options are a strong everyday perk. Residents enjoy trails and boat access at Killens Pond State Park and birding at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Cultural anchors like the Air Mobility Command Museum round out the picture with free, family friendly exhibits.
Whether you are relocating to the area or moving across town, local market conditions can vary significantly between Dover, Smyrna, and smaller communities like Felton. The right Kent County agent can explain school options, traffic patterns, and neighborhood trends in plain language, helping you avoid guesswork. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with local experts so each move feels more confident and less stressful.

“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!”
“Octavia has been absolutely attentive to my wants and needs from the beginning to the end with the sale of my property. Octavia explained step by step to prepare my home to be able to get on the market. She would also check in with me to see how things were coming along. I was very pleased with the way things went and I was able to get the best offer for my property. I would definitely recommend and use Octavia in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Margaret helped us in so many ways. Especially because we needed to dispose of everything in the house. Great personality. Would recommend her to everyone.”
“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.”
“The service was great, and for the agent, you couldn't ask for anyone better.”
“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.”
“Mike was with me every step of the process of buying my first home. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped make this process easily and hassle free. He was always available for a showing and answered any questions in a timely manner.”
“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.”
“Very happy with every aspect in dealing with Dan and Denise.”
