No. 5 — $795,000 · 710 Greenwood Rd, Wilmington, Delaware
The oldest home in this Top 5 is a 1955 brick ranch on Greenwood Road in Westover Hills, and it went under contract the day it was listed before selling for $795,000. All four bedrooms are on one floor, with two bathrooms in 2,425 square feet, on a 0.49-acre corner lot with a two-car garage.

A formal dining room off the family room could also work as an office, and hardwood floors run through the main living spaces. A large unfinished basement provides storage.
