Active inventory ticked up about 4% year over year, but that growth has lost some steam for the first time in five weeks. For buyers and sellers alike, this means a more balanced playing field, but no sudden surges in supply.<\/p>\n<p>Homes averaged 61 days on the market, unchanged from last year and consistent with the typical late Q3 tempo we expect after a brisker start to 2026. New listings dipped around 1% compared to last year, returning to 2025 levels as both buyers and sellers weigh affordability and pricing with extra care.<\/p>\n<p>The median listing price sits at $419,000\u2014down about 1% year over year\u2014and the median price per square foot has softened to $222, the lowest since early Q1 2026. These shifts, along with higher mortgage rates, are nudging the market in a more buyer-friendly direction, though the overall pace remains steady rather than fast-moving.<\/p>\n<p>At The Coastal Real Estate Group, we keep a close eye on these trends to help you navigate your next move, whether it\u2019s a beachside retreat or an investment property. Our experience across Sussex County and Delaware means you\u2019ll have up-to-date insights and a partner who values communication every step of the way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Across the U.S., we\u2019re seeing a gradual rebalancing in the housing market\u2014a trend that echoes right here in Delaware.
