“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 (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Homes in The Highlands are taking a bit more time to sell in this rolling three-month view, with the median days on market up to 34, a modest year-over-year increase. Even with this slower pace, nearly 47 percent of homes are still going off the market within two weeks, reflecting solid buyer interest.
Prices have moved down compared with a year ago. The typical home value is lower by about a quarter, and the median list price has fallen by over 40 percent year over year. Sellers are still achieving strong results, with properties selling for about 98 percent of their list price and more than 27 percent closing above asking.
Inventory conditions show a tighter but still seller-leaning market. Months of supply has risen to 1.8, up more than a third from last year but still well below the 4.5 months seen across Wilmington overall. Active listings in The Highlands are up modestly over the year, and homes sold have increased by more than 20 percent, indicating steady turnover despite the pricing reset. Buyers can use these trends to gauge value and timing, while sellers can benchmark their expectations, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with an agent who understands this specific market.

“This was a useful service to us, as we didn't know any realtors in the area or which agency to use. Agent Pronto connected us with a fantastic realtor, and we were able to sell our home quickly. Highly recommend both Agent Pronto and Cathy Verne.”
“Ed was extremely helpful, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire process. He consistently kept me informed and made sure I was up to date every step of the way. I highly recommend Ed for his professionalism, promptness, and attentiveness. He was always responsive to my specific needs and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. His excellent customer service and dedication were truly appreciated.”
“If you're buying or selling in Delaware Kazy is the man to turn to. Extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. He set expectations high and exceeded them repeatedly. Highly recommend him to anyone dealing with real estate buying or selling.”
“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!”
