As of this morning, the MLS shows that both New Castle County DE and Delaware County PA have closed exactly the same number of properties - 4,477 properties sold in each county year to date. This also happened in June for Chester County and Delaware County so I thought this would be a good time for another quick sales update for Delaware County PA, Chester County PA, and New Castle County DE. Delaware County PA: Currently there are 1,367 properties on the market or coming soon, 857 properties pending, and 4,477 properties sold. This compares to 2018 with 1,736 on the market, 912 pending, and 4,635 sold. We are currently running about 3.5% behind last year in properties sold along with lower inventories and lower pending. New Castle County DE: Currently there are 1,451 properties on the ... 08/24/2019

Westhaven and West Park are ideal home choices for those looking for great classic housing in a convenient close to Wilmington location.

Westover Hills continues to be a premier housing choice in Wilmington Delaware. Westover Hills is situated in a prime location along Route 52 / Pennsylvania Avenue just beyond the Wilmington city limits. It was designed in four separate sections generally moving from the city limits beyond the original Wilmington Country Club property (now part of the University of Delaware) out toward Greenville. The first homes were completed in the 1920's and new construction continues to this day, but there were three particularly active construction periods from approximately 1935-1940, 1945-1956, and 1996-2000. This has afforded the community a wealth of individual home styles, sizes, and designs that have always attracted Wilmington's elite. Today, with almost 400 properties, Westover Hills is th... 08/05/2014

Since the last update in March 2013, Stonewold home pricing and activity have continued to slowly strengthen. In 2013, as expected, Stonewold prices did continue to strengthen just a bit as the year progressed. There were 8 sales for the year with an average sales price of $664,000 (up 2% from the 2012 $651,000 average). Average days on the market did expand as it took time for the overpriced listings to come down to earth and go under contract. In 2014 year to date, the Stonewold market has sustained it's strength with four properties placed under contract since June 1. There are currently 2 properties on the market with an average list price of $694,000, 4 homes under contract with an average asking price of $712,000, and one property did settle for $825,000. The average days on the m... 07/11/2014

After church today, I went walking through the gardens at Winterthur Museum outside of Wilmington. It was windy and overcast, but the plants were trying really hard to bloom. Here is a Korean Rhododendron and a Flowering Quince.  I expect it will be another couple of weeks before we see more action from these shrubs at Winterthur!          Looking to see what types of homes are blooming in the Winterthur area?  Contact Carolyn Roland! 03/31/2013

Stonewold home pricing has now stablized and remains one of the top home choices in the Greenville area. Since my last market update in October 2010, Stonewold home prices and sales activity have both softened. In 2010, while average prices held up at $751,000, there were only 3 sales with an average of 87 days on the market. Individually home prices ranged from $710,000 to $820,000. Stonewold home prices then fell in both 2011 and 2012. In 2011, 3 homes sold for an average price of $678,000. In 2012, the prices eased further to an average price of $651,000, but the sales pace began to recover with 7 sales for the year. In both years, prices ranged from $550,000 to $775,000. This year to date there has been one completed sale for $750,000. In addition, there are two sales pending that w... 03/14/2013

   On a wildflower walk yesterday at the Mt. Cuba Center Greenville, Delaware, we saw not only the luscious Turtleheads (Chelone Glabra) but what the guides later told me was something that made the day a "7 Turtle Day." Who knew you could rate a day by the number of turtles sunning on a log in the pond?  Former home of DuPont Co. president and Mrs. Lammot duPont Copeland, the 600 acre estate was transformed from a boring field into a treasure chest of native plants of the Appalachian Piedmont starting in the 1930's.    The above variety of Mt. Cuba scenes include the Obedient Plant (because the individual flowere can be turned in the desired direction and stay there), bog garden stars called White Trumpets, and the gate at the entrance to the property which features depictions of some ... 09/19/2011
