Five single-family homes in New Castle County made up the highest-priced home sales reported across the Newark-New Castle-Middletown Area, Delaware for the week ending October 25, 2026, and together they sold for $3.215 million.
Middletown accounts for two of the five, with Newark, New Castle and Bear contributing one each. The group spans three decades of building, from a 1995 ranch to a home finished in 2024, and runs from canal-side acreage to established neighborhoods near Newark’s parks.
No. 1 — $875,000 · 313 Dillon Cir, Middletown, Delaware
The newest and largest home of the week sits at the back of Summit Pointe in Middletown, on a 0.58-acre lot that backs to canal property with no neighbors behind it. Built in 2024, the Traditional-style home at 313 Dillon Circle sold for $875,000. It also has the biggest lot among the five.
A two-story foyer with a flared staircase opens the interior, and the formal living and dining rooms are finished with crown molding and decorative millwork. The kitchen is built around an 11-foot quartz island, with 42-inch cabinetry, a wall oven and a statement range hood, and a breakfast area looks out to the backyard. Next to it, a two-story family room has a gas fireplace, custom accent walls and tall windows. A first-floor office sits behind French doors.
The home has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and 4,885 square feet of living space, with ceilings of nine feet throughout. The primary suite has a sitting area, two walk-in closets and a bath with a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower.
