Average rent in Delaware

The median asking rent in Delaware is $2,250 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.

Against an average home value of $317,929, that rent level prices Delaware at a 8.31% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Delaware markets.
