Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Wakefield real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Inventory in Wakefield is limited, with only 10 homes for sale and just 1.1 months of supply, even after a 42.86% jump from the prior month. Buyer interest is strong enough that 12 homes went under contract in March 2026, only slightly below last year’s pace despite a 40% drop in new listings.
Prices are reacting to this tight supply, with the typical home value at $970,000, up 6.01% year over year and 10.23% month over month. Sellers are often seeing strong offers, as about 77.78% of homes sell above list and the average sale-to-list ratio is roughly 1.04.
Compared with Sussex County, where the typical home value is $213,500, Wakefield sits at a much higher price point and is projected to reach about $1,015,000 next month, alongside a projected median list price of $986,775. With homes spending just 4 days on the market and only a modest rise in projected inventory to 11 listings, both buyers and sellers can benefit from having an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to guide them through this fast-moving market.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

As first-time homebuyers, we entered the process with a steep learning curve, but Carla ensured we were thoroughly educated at every stage. She provided what I can only describe as a library’s worth of expertise and support throughout the entire process. From the initial search to the final closing, her attention to detail and proactive communication meant that no step was overlooked.

Within a few days, we were good to go, Kim has a trusted team and they're all genuinely helpful and go above and beyond. There's no doubt in my mind who is leading me through the next purchase.
