Homes in The Highlands have been moving at a brisk pace in the latest rolling three-month view, with a median of just 13 days on the market. That is less than half the typical time from a year earlier, showing how quickly well-priced homes can attract buyers.
Prices have climbed sharply over the past year, with the typical home value up nearly 29 percent compared with the same period last year. Even with that increase, homes are closing very close to asking, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and nearly one-third of sales closing above list price. Inventory has expanded, as active listings are up slightly year over year and months of supply has increased to about two months.
Seller activity has picked up as new listings over the past three months are up more than 50 percent from a year ago, and closed sales have also risen year over year. The Highlands is considerably higher-priced than Wilmington overall, where the median sale price is closer to $240,000 and supply is looser at just over three months. With more choices, faster sales, and higher price points at play, local knowledge really matters. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in The Highlands with a knowledgeable real estate agent who understands these conditions.
The Highlands offers residents a walkable, community-oriented lifestyle with green spaces, convenient local amenities, and a welcoming, active neighborhood culture.

“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.”
“Octavia sold us our house 12 years ago and had a great experience with that. So when my mother died naturally I got in touch with Octavia and within a month it was sold and we were at settlement. We may move again and when it's time I will be calling Octavia.”
“Edward Cole was friendly and knowledgable. He helped us navigate a confusing home buying process with ease and connected us with great services to help us along the way. Appreciate his contributions immensely!”
“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!”
