The Highlands real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the The Highlands real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Homes in The Highlands are moving at a moderate clip, spending a typical 28 days on the market in February 2026. That pace has edged down about 3 percent from the prior month, suggesting buyers are acting a bit more quickly when the right home appears.
Prices sit well above the broader Wilmington area, with a typical home value of about $535,000 compared with roughly $224,950 citywide. Values in the neighborhood are up a strong 22.29 percent over the past year, even as they slipped about 4.46 percent month over month. The median list price has recently adjusted down to around $622,000, a decline of about 6.47 percent from the previous month.
Supply is especially limited, with only 6 active listings in February and inventory down nearly 54 percent from a year ago. New listings also fell about 43 percent year over year, and pending sales dropped 50 percent, pointing to fewer opportunities for both sides to transact. Even with that slowdown, The Highlands sits firmly in a seller’s market, and about 12.5 percent of homes recently sold above asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99. Looking ahead to March, projections call for slightly lower typical values around $522,500 and a bit less inventory at 5 homes, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate these conditions effectively.

“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.”

Additionally, Jetta kept our interest as a priority and resolved every issue ethically and efficiently.”

“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!”
