Home values in New Castle County have risen over the past year, with the typical home value up 4.03% to about $361,500, outpacing Delaware’s 2.5% growth and $352,500 typical value. Year-over-year inventory is only slightly higher at 1.19% growth, so this modest increase in available homes has not fully offset demand.
In the latest month of February 2026, homes typically spent 42 days on the market, up 35.48% from a year earlier but down 10.64% from just the prior month, suggesting buyers are moving a bit more quickly again. Around 27% of homes sold above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio was about 0.98, while roughly 21% of listings saw a price drop, all consistent with a seller’s market supported by about 3 months of supply.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected to ease slightly to about $354,750, with the projected median list price near $368,725 and inventory edging up to roughly 851 homes. Conditions still lean toward sellers, yet softer month-over-month prices and more listings may offer buyers slightly more room to negotiate, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with a real estate agent who understands these shifts in New Castle County.
