Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hilltop real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Hilltop’s for-sale housing stock is relatively limited, with 30 homes on the market in March 2026 and inventory up about 3 percent from the prior month and more than doubling year over year. Buyer activity is steady, with 19 homes going under contract and pending sales up nearly 12 percent compared with a year ago, even as properties now take a median of 72 days to go under contract.
Pricing is adjusting downward as supply and demand rebalance, with the typical home value around $141,000 after a year-over-year decline of roughly 17 percent and a sharp month-to-month drop of about 22 percent. List prices are softening more gradually, with the median list price near $191,999.50, down about 3.5 percent from the previous month, and roughly 35 percent of homes selling above list while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 0.98.
Looking ahead to April 2026, forecasts show the typical home value easing further toward about $121,500 and the projected median list price drifting to roughly $188,499, while inventory is expected to hold around 30 homes. Even with these shifts, Hilltop is still labeled a seller’s market, especially compared with the broader Wilmington area where the typical home value stands near $251,200 and is projected to rise to about $271,800, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert who understands these dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Working with Joe Walker as our real estate agent in Delaware was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the local market gave us confidence at every stage of the process, and he consistently provided clear, well-informed guidance that helped us make the right decisions. Joe was incredibly responsive and accessible, always making himself available to answer questions and keep us updated, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. What truly set Joe apart was how well he listened to our needs and priorities in a home. He was patient throughout the journey, never rushing us, and remained supportive as we worked through various challenges along the way. His communication was always clear and transparent, and his personable approach made us feel comfortable and valued as clients. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in purchasing our home and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
“Octavia Williams made the home selling process an extremely positive one. Octavia maintained excellent communication with all involved. Octavia is a highly reliable and trust worthy professional.”
“Kazy was patient with me, I was being very selective in choosing a potential property. The process lasted well over a year. He never pressured me into anything I didn't want, and was quickly supportive whenever I had a question or wanted to look at a property. When the right place came up he was quick to act, and his negotiating tactics were pivotal in ensuring that I got the house, despite there being a bidding war on the property. Beyond his business expertise, he's a good person and someone I eagerly recommend to anyone else looking for a place.”
“Margaret helped us in so many ways. Especially because we needed to dispose of everything in the house. Great personality. Would recommend her to everyone.”
“With this being my first home buying experience, I had no idea what to expect. Dave Johnson set the standard, if I unfortunately have to use someone else in the future. He made everything very understandable, gave great tips, insight, and clearly explained every step of the process so nothing was lost in translation, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience working with him, and with my purchase several months into homeownership. It's almost like he was born for it.”
“Mary Ann understood what I wanted and found just the right home! I could not be happier with the price we paid. She helped get us a credit after the inspection showed plumbing issues. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”
“Mike was with me every step of the process of buying my first home. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped make this process easily and hassle free. He was always available for a showing and answered any questions in a timely manner.”
“Jetta was recommended to me by Octavia and I completely see why she came recommended. She took care of my family and I the entire time even through emergency situations we had to deal with outside of the home purchase. Jetta was reliable, communicative and highly supportive every step of the way. She ensured that we had every answer to question we had. Additionally, Jetta kept our interest as a priority and resolved every issue ethically and efficiently.”
“Cathy was great to work with! She was very responsive and as soon as I placed my request, she contacted me and got things in motion. Thank you for all your help.”
“Jessy was and still is an amazing realator. She was extremely organized, great at communicating often and checking it and always honest and open with me. She strived to check every aspect of each home that was important to me to be sure I found the perfect house for me. She continues to support me and communicate with me and I'm so happy to have had a friend recommend her to me. Jessy is an absolute delight to work with any anyone would be lucky to have her help in finding and purchasing their first home.”
“Chris Pataki was our agent and when I tell you that there is no one better, believe me. There isn't. Chris was responsive, caring, concerned, and a guiding force through our home buying process. He found us a beautiful home that appraised over the asking price and in a very competitive market. Chris is knowledgeable and goes beyond expectations making sure that our closing was smooth and our home ready for move-in. If you are looking for a realtor who just doesn't sell you a home but helps you acclimate to a location, he is your guy. Coming from the Penn State area, he was able to explain neighborhoods and home values. He is a class act and we will always consider him more than just our realtor but a new friend!”
