Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Home values in Chestnut Heights-Princess Place have eased in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value down about 8 percent from a year ago and median list prices also slipping a few percent year over year. Compared with the wider Wilmington area, where prices are still edging higher annually, this neighborhood is seeing a more noticeable cooling in pricing.
Listing and contract activity has shifted alongside those price changes. Homes sold have dropped more than 60 percent from a year ago, and new listings are down by roughly a quarter, signaling slower overall turnover. Despite that slowdown, active listings are up more than 30 percent year over year, so choices for buyers have expanded.
Days on market have stretched sharply, with the median now about 134 days compared with just a couple of weeks a year ago, and months of supply has climbed from under 2 months to around 7 to 8 months, pointing to a looser, more buyer-friendly environment. Even so, roughly one in five sales still close above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 96 percent, showing sellers who price well can still achieve solid results. Whether buyers want to navigate the growing inventory or sellers need to position a home effectively, Agent Pronto can connect them with a local expert agent to guide each step.
Chestnut Heights-Princess Place offers residents a friendly, walkable community with tree-lined streets, convenient access to parks, shops, and services, and a strong sense of local connection that makes everyday life feel easy and enjoyable.
Chestnut Heights-Princess Place often suits buyers seeking value and convenience in Wilmington, as well as longtime owners ready to capitalize on a changing market. With a mix of modest bungalows, brick ranches, and compact postwar homes, the neighborhood appeals to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors who appreciate established streets and access to daily necessities.
Residents enjoy quick connections to downtown Wilmington and nearby employment centers, while still being close to outdoor escapes like Greenfield Lake Park and Gardens and the Wilmington Riverwalk. Families often look closely at local school options through New Hanover County Schools as they compare Chestnut Heights-Princess Place with areas such as Forest Hills and Brooklyn Arts District.
Everyday conveniences are nearby, from grocery stores to the shops along Market Street, and cultural offerings at the Cameron Art Museum and Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts are only a short drive away. Commuters appreciate access to major routes and proximity to Wrightsville Beach for weekend relaxation.
Because housing stock, street-by-street character, and pricing can vary within Chestnut Heights-Princess Place, local insight is crucial. An agent who knows which blocks are turning over quickly, which homes have been significantly updated, and how this area compares to nearby Myrtle Grove can help you time a sale or secure the right property. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with agents who understand these neighborhood-level details and can guide confident decisions.

She helped me sell my home about a year ago, and when it was time for me to buy again, there was absolutely no question about who I wanted by my side. Debbie truly listens to what you want and then goes above and beyond to make it happen. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and genuinely invested in her clients. She doesn’t just help you buy or sell a house — she advocates for you every step of the way and makes you feel like you have someone in your corner. What really sets Debbie apart is how far she is willing to go for her clients. She is even paying for some repairs out of her own pocket to help make sure everything is taken care of. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and how much she cares about the people she represents. After having Debbie sell my previous home and now help me purchase my new home, I can honestly say anyone would want Debbie on their side.
