## New Castle County context

Selling anywhere in New Castle County runs through the same offices in Wilmington. Delaware foreclosure is a scire facias action in the Superior Court of the county where the property sits: the lender sues, the court enters judgment, and the county sheriff conducts a public sale. Estate matters open at the New Castle County Register of Wills, and the county Recorder of Deeds keeps the deeds, mortgages, and liens behind every title file. Wilmington's aging rowhome stock and the Middletown building boom sit in the same county records. InTym Properties pulls the county records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is heavier than most states. Delaware's realty transfer tax runs 4% of the sale price in most jurisdictions, a state share plus the county or city share, apportioned equally between seller and buyer by statute, and it is usually the largest line on a New Castle County settlement statement. Delaware also closes through attorneys, so a licensed Delaware real estate attorney handles the settlement. Every cost is itemized in your written offer before you sign. The city pages below carry their own median price, days on market, and trend.

The county records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the Delaware Division of Corporations registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the New Castle County Recorder of Deeds, and any Delaware real estate attorney can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### How does foreclosure work in New Castle County?

Delaware foreclosure is a scire facias action in the Superior Court of New Castle County. The lender files, the court enters judgment, and the sheriff conducts a public sale. You can sell any time before the sheriff's sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the case.

### What does it cost to sell a house in New Castle County?

Delaware's realty transfer tax runs 4% of the sale price in most jurisdictions, split equally between seller and buyer by statute, plus attorney and recording fees. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is in an estate in New Castle County. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes when the New Castle County Register of Wills issues letters and the personal representative is ready to sign. Your attorney sets the real timeline.

### How fast can you close in New Castle County?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. A financed Delaware sale stretches once attorney schedules and a 45-to-60-day close stack up; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
