What are the Best Housing Markets in Delaware for 2007?

Answer:
Delaware, dubbed "The First State",

is a very small state tucked in between Maryland and New Jersey. Delaware real estate markets have dipped considerably in 2007, although some areas continue to maintain some stability.

According to Trulia.com, the following housing markets in Delaware have shown positive growth in home sales prices (all housing types) since June-August, 2007:

Milford: Sales prices up 22.3%. Average sales price=$210K.
Harrington: Sales prices up 20.8%. Average sales price=$203K.
Magnolia: Sales prices up 5.7%. Average sales price=$246K.
Smyrna: Sales prices up 4.9%. Average sales price=$252K.

Other pockets of positive growth are scattered around the state as well, but many areas have felt the same market crunch as the rest of America during 2007.
