Home values in Chestnut Heights-Princess Place have been climbing in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value up about 7% year over year and sitting just under $425,000. That pace is a bit stronger than the broader Wilmington area, where prices are up a little over 5% annually. Listing prices, however, have dipped slightly compared with a year ago, suggesting sellers may be pricing more cautiously even as sold values trend higher. Overall, this mix points to solid underlying demand alongside some seller flexibility on asking prices.
Listing and contract activity has picked up noticeably. Homes sold in the latest three-month period are up more than 40% from a year ago, and pending sales have risen by a similar margin. Active listings have also increased year over year, which gives buyers more options than they had previously.
Even with more homes on the market, conditions still lean toward sellers, with only about two and a half months of supply compared with roughly four and a half months across Wilmington as a whole. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market now a little over seven weeks, yet nearly half of recent listings have still gone under contract within two weeks. The share of homes selling above list price is modest and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100%, reinforcing a market where both sides can negotiate. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who knows this neighborhood well.
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.

“Working with Liz was an amazing experience during the purchase of our first home! Liz was pivotal in us figuring out our ideal home style and what was around that fit our needs. Once we found THE home for us Liz worked even harder to get us the best price and all of the best inspectors and lawyers to complete the process. We couldn't imagine going this process again with anyone but Liz and will be referencing her to all of our friends!”

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!”
