Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Year-over-year, Wilmington’s rolling three-month data shows home values edging higher while listing prices soften. The typical home value is up around 4% from a year ago, even as the median list price has dipped, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations while closed prices stay relatively firm.

At the same time, inventory has expanded meaningfully, with active listings up more than 20% compared with last year and new listings also higher. With months of supply climbing to about 3.7 from roughly half that level a year ago, buyers now see more options and a bit more negotiating room than in prior periods.

Looking at the latest rolling three-month snapshot through July 2026, homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market around 55 and less than one in five properties closing above list price. Even so, nearly 600 homes sold in this period and almost as many went under contract, confirming steady demand in this seller-leaning market. For both buyers trying to navigate shifting conditions and sellers aiming to price correctly in Wilmington, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who knows how to work this evolving landscape.



Learn more about what Wilmington has to offer.

Wilmington offers residents a vibrant blend of historic charm, riverfront and coastal access, strong community life, a thriving arts and dining scene, and abundant outdoor recreation.

Wilmington is a historic coastal city that blends walkable neighborhoods, a busy port, and easy access to beaches with everyday practicality. Downtown’s compact street grid makes it simple to move between offices, the Riverwalk, and dining along the Cape Fear River, while major routes like College Road connect you quickly to Wrightsville Beach and retail hubs.

Families appreciate a range of school choices through New Hanover County Schools, as well as higher education at UNC Wilmington. Green spaces such as Halyburton Park and Long Leaf Park offer miles of trails, playgrounds, and sports courts, making it easy to stay active without leaving town. Cultural life centers on venues like Thalian Hall and the Cameron Art Museum, while Port City Marina and nearby Carolina Beach extend your options for boating, fishing, and waterfront relaxation.

From historic bungalows near downtown to newer developments closer to Mayfaire, housing styles and price points are varied. That variety is an advantage, but it also makes choosing the right neighborhood and navigating multiple offers more complex. A local real estate agent who knows traffic patterns, flood maps, school zones, and subtle neighborhood differences can simplify every step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with professionals who understand Wilmington’s market, helping reduce stress and keep your move or sale on track.

“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

“Jeff Lesley and his team provided service beyond my expectations. I had to have new flooring installed in my unit. Since I live out of town, he selected samples of flooring and emailed them to me to make a select. He recommended an attorney for me to use and a handyman to install my flooring. In addition, his team returned equipment and picked up keys for me. Therefore, I didn't have to make a 2 1/2 hour drive to the beach. Jeff and his team are very professional. I couldn't have picked a better agent. I highly recommend Jeff.”

“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
