“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.”

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.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Judy had our house listed and under contract within 72 hours. Very knowledgeable of the local market and very good at helping a first time seller navigate the process. Would use her again.”
“We truly had the best experience working with Liz! She was responsive, knowledgeable, and always went above and beyond for us. She made buying our home so easy and stress-free, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. She communicated every step of the way with us, checking in with any update no matter how big or small. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“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.”
“Chris is a truly exceptional sales professional as well as an honest and reliable realtor. I have recommended him to neighbors . I appreciated his above and beyond service as much as his low stress and friendly manner .”
“From start to finish, Pam was friendly, professional, great communicator, patient, and knowledgeable of the complete process. Pam listened to our needs and wants and strived to help us find a new home that was a perfect new start.”
“Neil is great! He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely refer him to anyone that asks if I know a local agent.”
“Liz was my saving grace in a chaotic journey of selling my house. She was patient, communicative, and worked hard with marketing and communication with buyers agents. She was a recommendation of a friend who I have thanked 10000 times. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Nic was a pleasure to work with! He kept us up to date on all issues, returned calls, texts, and emails very promptly. Well Done Nic!”
“Bea Desmond was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable about the market, always responsive to the many questions we had & always the utmost professional! We could not have asked for a better agent.”
“Oscar was great to deal. I will use him to buy my next home.”
“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!”
“She was wonderful to work with, and I could not have asked for a smoother process!”
“Dave Robertson was very patient and got the job done! He was very positive and professional throughout this experience!”
