Sell Your House in Camden-Wyoming, DE
Camden and Wyoming are two separate Kent County towns that share the 19934 ZIP code. Together they mix older in-town houses, newer subdivisions and a steady flow of Dover Air Force Base families. We buy in both towns and the surrounding county as-is.
What are homes in Camden-Wyoming selling for?
Over the three months ending in September 2026, Redfin reported a median sale price of about $390,000 in 19934, up 18.3% from a year earlier, at about $157 per square foot (Redfin, 19934). In a ZIP this size the median moves with the mix of homes that sold, new construction versus older houses, so don't read it as the price of your house.
That matters if you own one of the older homes. When buyers can choose a new build nearby, a dated kitchen or an aging septic system weighs more heavily on price.
What makes Camden and Wyoming different from Dover?
- Two towns, one ZIP. Camden and Wyoming are separate municipalities with their own councils and codes. The Postal Service gave them a shared ZIP, 19934, because both are small. Camden voters favored a 1975 merger, but it failed (Camden, Delaware). Which town you're in, or whether you're in unincorporated Kent County, decides whose permits, rental rules and taxes apply.
- Fast growth. Camden had 3,715 residents in 2020, up from 2,100 in 2000, and grew 65% between 2010 and 2020 (same source).
- A historic core. Camden was laid out in 1783 as a Quaker settlement called Mifflin's Crossroads. The Camden Historic District and the Camden Friends Meetinghouse are on the National Register of Historic Places (same source). Older in-town houses often have the issues that come with age: plaster, old wiring, additions built without permits.
- Rental licenses. The Town of Camden adopted a rental license ordinance (Ordinance 2016-O-02) (Town of Camden code book). If you're a landlord who has fallen behind on it, we can still buy.
- Dover Air Force Base. In unincorporated Kent County near the base, the Airport Environs Zoning Overlay sets noise-attenuation standards by noise zone, and requires overlay notices on plans and in deeds and leases (Kent County Code § 205-397.1). If your property is inside it, buyers will see that notice.
- Schools. Both towns are in the Caesar Rodney School District.
Which Kent County offices and costs come into play?
- Transfer tax. Kent County's Recorder of Deeds lists 2.5% state plus 1.5% local for Camden, Wyoming and unincorporated Kent County, 4% in total, usually split between buyer and seller (Kent County realty transfer tax rates). Try the calculator.
- Estates. The Kent County Register of Wills is in the Levy Court Administrative Complex, 555 Bay Road, Room 214, Dover, (302) 744-2330. When opening an estate, you list the estimated value of real estate the person owned alone (Kent County Wills & Estates).
- Sheriff sales. Kent County mortgage foreclosure sales are usually held the first Thursday of each month in Levy Court Chambers at 555 Bay Road. Bidders register in person with a $4,000 deposit (Kent County Sheriff sales directive). Tax monition sales are held the last Tuesday of January, April, July and October (Kent County monition procedures). If a sale date is set, see avoiding foreclosure in Delaware.

How do we buy houses in Camden-Wyoming?
- Tell us about the house. Use the form or call. A few minutes on the phone is usually enough.
- One walkthrough, or photos. No cleaning or staging. We look up taxes, liens and open permits ourselves.
- Get a written offer that shows the math: the after-repair value, the repair budget, our costs and margin, and your estimated net.
- Close on your date with a Delaware settlement attorney, as soon as about 10 days with clear title or up to about 60 days out. You're paid at settlement.
When should you list with an agent instead?
If your house is newer or updated and you have a few months before you need to move, list it. Kent County has plenty of buyers for move-in-ready homes, and an agent will usually net more. We'll say so in writing. A direct sale helps when the timeline is short, the house needs real work, or you're managing it from another duty station. The cash vs. traditional sale guide walks through the comparison.
What areas near Camden-Wyoming do we cover?

What do Camden-Wyoming sellers ask us?

As soon as about 10 days with clear title, or on a date that matches your report date. Closing can often be done by mail through the settlement attorney if you've already moved.
Is my house in Camden, Wyoming or unincorporated Kent County?
The 19934 ZIP doesn't tell you. Your tax bill or deed shows the municipality, and that decides whose permits, rental rules and taxes apply.
Will you take over my VA loan?
Sometimes. A subject-to purchase leaves the existing loan in place while we make the payments. It has real trade-offs, including your VA entitlement staying tied up, and we explain them in writing before you decide.
What's the transfer tax in Camden and Wyoming?
4% in total (2.5% state and 1.5% local) according to Kent County's rate sheet, customarily split between buyer and seller. When Silverside buys your house, we pay all closing costs, including your share of the transfer tax.
Do you buy older in-town homes that need work?
Yes. Old wiring, plaster, unpermitted additions and septic or well issues are priced into the offer, and you don't fix anything first.
