“Octavia had an excellent track record in Delaware in representing both the seller and buyer, which was very important to me during my selection process. In my initial discussions, she shared with me her comprehensive knowledge of real estate in general, and more specifically, the Delaware market. I had total confidence in her abilities, and she exceeded my expectations by having a bona fide offer in less than two weeks of listing the property. We closed 30 days later. I highly recommend Octavia to anyone who is buying or selling property in Delaware. She is a consummate professional with an impressive track record.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Year-over-year, South Wilmington’s rolling three-month numbers show softer prices and thinner inventory. The typical home value is down sharply from last year, and the median list price has also fallen by about half. Active listings have dropped more than a third compared with a year ago, even as homes sold are slightly higher.
Looking at the latest three-month window through August 2026, buyers are seeing longer marketing times, with the median days on market up to about three months and rising more than 40 percent from a year earlier. At the same time, inventory is still tight, with only about 1.6 months of supply even after a notable increase over the past year.
Pricing dynamics remain firm despite the pullback in values and listings. Roughly one quarter of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is near 99 percent, suggesting sellers who price correctly are still getting very close to what they ask. Compared with the broader Wilmington market, South Wilmington’s typical sale price sits well below the citywide median, which may appeal to cost-conscious buyers. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these mixed signals or a seller aiming to take advantage of limited supply, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands South Wilmington’s trends in detail.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
