What makes the New Castle County market different
- Housing in New Castle County is tight: only 5% of units are vacant, against 10% nationally. Low vacancy usually means a renovated house finds a buyer or a tenant quickly.

- Only 53% of homes in New Castle County are single-family detached houses (U.S.: 61%). Apartments, attached homes and mobile homes make up more of the housing, so check the property type before you value a deal.
- HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD area at $2,216 a month, against a median home value of $330K in New Castle County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
