Millsboro, DE Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

Millsboro closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last 12 months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 12 months: 291
  • Median sold price, last 12 months: $330,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $168
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $289,990 and $394,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 291 closed sales in Millsboro over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $330,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $289,990 and $394,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 290 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $152 and $207 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 55 days, across 161 Millsboro closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 30 days, across 145 Millsboro closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 291 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Millsboro angle

Across 291 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median closed sale price was $330,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $289,990 and $394,000. More of that span sits above the median than below it, so upper-half properties separate from the middle faster than lower-half ones do. Practically, that argues for building your comp set from sales that resemble the subject on the attributes you can verify, then checking where your conclusion falls inside the quartile band rather than against the median alone.

From market read to offer price

A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Millsboro address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
