CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS

As of April 2026, Colonial School District is a seller’s market. With 1.73 months of inventory, a median list price of $429,000, and homes spending a median of 23 days on market across New Castle, Delaware City, and Old New Castle, demand significantly outpaces available supply. These conditions reflect a competitive environment where limited inventory continues to drive swift absorption of new listings.

We report median days on market, not average — because one outlier property sitting 400 days shouldn’t change what you expect your home to do. Our data covers the Colonial School District, not a zip code — in this region, two homes on the same street can be in different districts with meaningfully different market dynamics.

★★★★★

“Jane and Vince are by far the best realtors I’ve met. They are professional with deep knowledge of their markets. The best part of working with them is that I never felt rushed or pressured. Jane always gave her honest opinion and I could tell she was genuinely thinking about what was best for me and my family.”
