What These Numbers Mean for Claymont Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows Claymont operating with limited supply and tight timelines. With only 9 active listings against 1.2 months of supply, the market sits firmly on the seller's side of the ledger, and the 2026 data reinforces that reading. Roughly 40.9% of homes closed above their asking price, 57.7% went under contract within two weeks, and the average sale-to-list ratio measured 99.75%. When homes move that quickly and clear near or above list, buyers have narrow room to negotiate on well-priced properties in zip code 19703.
The counter-signal is worth weighing carefully. Price drops appeared on 30.4% of listings, median time on market reflects a +8 days change, and the median sale price moved -6.2% year over year. That combination means leverage splits by property: sharp, accurately priced listings still draw competition, while overpriced or dated homes sit and eventually concede. For a buyer, that argues for moving decisively on fresh inventory but holding firm on anything that has lingered past the 34 day median. For a seller, it argues against reaching on the initial list price, since a later reduction is one of the clearest signals of stalled demand.
The $ sign is built into $339,775, which at $231.87 per square foot anchors most negotiations. With 8 homes sold and 24 pending in a typical month against 26 new listings, the supply-demand gap stays thin. Claymont has 250 licensed agents, and the difference between an average and a measured, data-literate agent shows up directly in how these competing signals get read.

What to Look for in a Claymont Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually drives outcomes: transaction depth, pricing accuracy, and negotiation history measured against real market data. EffectiveAgents ranks 47 agents in Claymont out of 250 licensed locally, filtering for verified performance rather than advertising spend. The top-ranked agent, Jeff Stape at Compass, has closed 989 transactions with $204.2M in all-time sales volume. That track record matters in a market where 40.9% of homes sell above list and the average sale-to-list ratio sits at 99.75%, because an agent who understands when to push and when to concede protects a seller's bottom line and keeps a buyer from overpaying in zip code 19703. Negotiation skill is most visible when 30.4% of listings require a reduction, since reading that signal early separates a confident strategy from a reactive one. When reviewing agents, look at the pattern of reviews over time rather than a single rating, and weigh how consistently an agent has handled properties similar to yours across varied market conditions.
How We Rank Claymont Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Claymont market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Claymont Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Claymont, DE?
The top-ranked agent in Claymont, DE is Jeff Stape at Compass, with 989 career transactions and $204.2M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents through a data-driven methodology that analyzes verified transaction history, pricing accuracy, and client outcomes rather than advertising. Of 250 licensed agents in the area, only 47 meet the ranking criteria. The right fit also depends on your property type and goals, so comparing several ranked agents against your specific situation is the recommended approach.
How were these Claymont real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Claymont?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the Claymont area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Claymont market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Claymont mean for sellers?
Claymont's median sale price is $339,775 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Claymont?
Homes in Claymont take a median of 34 days to sell, reflecting a +8 days change from a year ago. That median masks wide variation: with 57.7% of homes going under contract within two weeks, well-priced and move-in-ready listings often sell far faster, while homes that need updates or carry an ambitious price tend to sit longer and frequently see reductions, as 30.4% of listings do. Pricing strategy, condition, and photography all influence the timeline. An accurate initial list price is the single largest factor in a quick sale.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Claymont realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Claymont agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Claymont neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Claymont realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Claymont in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
