Last month, we reported that the Bayside real estate market had picked up some in August. Unfortunately, this momentum did not continue into September.  During the month, 3 properties went under contract. This compares to 8 sales during the same month last year.  

Through the first 3 quarters of the year, the market has been firm for sellers of all property types and locations in Bayside. While it is taking a couple days longer for properties to sell, total sales are up for all property types.

Gov. Matt Meyer this week signed several bipartisan reforms designed to provide immediate relief to Delaware homeowners facing sharp property tax increases and to ensure fairness following the statewide property reassessment.

The bills were passed in a special legislative session called after the June 30 closing of the state’s 2025 legislative session.

Officials said they “create fairer tax rates that ease the burden on homeowners, provide flexible payment plan options, and issues refunds to property owners who overpaid, all while maintaining resources for school districts.” Passed legislation also calls for a review of the assessment process and development of improvement recommendations for future reassessments.

Last month, we reported that the Sea Colony real estate market had experienced a nice rise in activity during August. This momentum continued into September.  During the month, 10 properties went under contract. This compares to 6 sales in September of last year.

Through the first 3 quarters of the year, the market has been firm in Sea Colony. As the chart illustrates, total sales are down, but this is due to low inventory (especially on the West), not weakened buyer demand.   While properties are taking longer to go under contract, appropriately priced properties for both the East and West are still selling very quickly.

Last month, we reported that the beach real estate market was active in August. Unfortunately, this momentum did not continue into September. During the month, 26 properties in the Bethany-Fenwick area went under contract. This is down 19% when compared to 31 sales in September of last year.

As the chart illustrates, through the first 3 quarters of the year, the market has been strong for all property types at the beach. Prices and inventory are both relatively stable while total sales are up. If you are exploring your options as a buyer or seller, we always welcome a conversation.
