Homes in The Highlands are taking longer to sell in this rolling three-month view, with the median days on market up to 45 from 32 a year earlier. Even with this slower pace, a high 71.83% of listings still go off the market within two weeks, signaling that desirable properties move quickly once they hit the right price and presentation.
Prices have climbed sharply over the past year. The typical home value in The Highlands has risen about 77% year over year, reaching roughly $707,000, while median list prices are up more than 50%. Despite those gains, sellers are getting sale prices very close to asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio of 99.5% and about a quarter of homes selling above list.
Supply conditions show a tighter market than in Wilmington overall, but with more breathing room than in prior years. The Highlands has around two months of supply compared with 4.3 months in Wilmington, even as inventory in the neighborhood has grown modestly and sales volumes have slipped over the past year. Fewer homes are selling than last year, and pending sales are down year over year, suggesting buyers are more selective at today’s price levels. With these shifts in pace, pricing, and supply, both buyers and sellers in The Highlands can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate this market.
The Highlands offers residents a walkable, community-oriented lifestyle with green spaces, convenient local amenities, and a welcoming, active neighborhood culture.

Morning might start with a coffee along North Union Street, a quick dog walk through nearby Rockford Park, then a short commute downtown. Groceries, neighborhood restaurants, and everyday services sit close at hand, so most errands feel simple and stress free.
Outdoor time is a big part of life here. Residents enjoy panoramic views from Rockford Tower and access to trails that connect toward Alapocas Run State Park. Families value proximity to schools like Ursuline Academy and Wilmington Friends School, while the Wilmington Public Library and cultural landmarks around Trolley Square provide learning and entertainment close by.

“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
