New Castle sellers often have a house with a long story attached: brick from the colonial period, a postwar ranch, or a rowhouse near the river. When a job or family change forces a move, the story becomes a to-do list of inspections, approvals and questions from buyers who have never seen the house. A direct sale skips most of that. It is worth pricing against a listing.

The city's core is a colonial riverfront with the Green and the Strand, and about 39% of its housing dates to before 1940. If your house is in the historic area, a buyer may ask about exterior approvals. Delaware's Flood Planning Tool is address-based.

Send the address and the date you must be out. We look at the house as it stands and make a cash offer, with no contractor visits.

The county's reassessment FAQ says bills are expected in mid-November 2026, due December 31, 2026. Ask the title company how that affects your closing.
The statute splits it equally between grantor and grantee, and the burden is on the grantor unless the contract says otherwise. On a hypothetical $300,000 sale, each percentage point of the tax is $3,000, and the settlement agent shows the exact figure.
Often yes. Tell us your timing, and ask the title company how signing works from another state. Tell us the date you need to be done and we plan backward from it.
