Monday's Main Event Get a jump on your week with the latest in local Real Estate Market trends, Mortgage Rates, and Local Happenings The Main Story... …Steady demand, climbing prices, and easing rates keep Sussex momentum strong in June… June closings so far are holding steady across Sussex County, keeping pace with last year. Average sale prices are climbing — higher than last month, last year, and well above the five-year norm. Buyer activity stays stonger through late spring, with newly pending contracts trending upward and peaking mid-period. Although last wee was down from the 5 week average, demand across the coastal market remains brisk heading into summer. Mortgage rates eased compared to a year ago and have settled near recent lows, keeping estimated monthly payments largely in check. Small shifts mean buying power is holding fairly steady. 🏠 Sussex County's housing market kept its momentum through June, with closings holding their ground and homes still changing hands at a steady clip across our coastal towns. 📊 Newly pending contracts trended upward in the weeks leading into summer — a sign buyers are staying engaged even as the season heats up. 💰 Average sale prices pushed higher again, climbing above both recent and longer-term trends, while mortgage rates eased from a year ago to help keep monthly payments within reach. ☀️ Looking ahead, the mix of active demand and steadier financing costs could make for a lively, opportunity-filled summer along the Delaware coast.
