While closed sales in New Castle County, just to the north, were up almost 6% in January, Kent County closed sales were up 11%. Prices, however, showed the traditional difference between the two adjacent counties, with the more rural and small town Kent County January median prices up 14% to $160,000, while New Castle County median prices were up the same percentage, to $193,500.

Thanks for the info Carolyn, always interesting to see how much contrast there can be in such a small state. I'm in Wilmington and it amazes me how many differences there are driving a half hour in any direction.

John--The place that is especially interesting is Newark, where you can be in 3 states in 10 minutes but they ALL look different. I think I could be blindfolded and tell you which state I was in!

Tell me about it! I've considered getting licensed in Maryland simply because so many people looking in the Newark area also consider buying right over the state line.
