Chestnut Heights-Princess Place real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chestnut Heights-Princess Place real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

Home values in Chestnut Heights-Princess Place are moving up quickly, with the typical home value around $400,000 in March 2026 after a sharp 17.65% jump from the prior month and a 0.95% rise over the past year. List prices are tracking higher as well, with the median list price at about $449,950 and projected to edge up to roughly $454,975 in April. Compared with the broader Wilmington market, where the typical home value is closer to $468,250, this neighborhood offers relatively more approachable prices while still trending upward.

Listing and contract activity show a busy, fast-moving scene. Homes spent a median of 37 days on the market in March, down about 5.13% from the previous month but still much higher year over year, up 184.62%. Sellers brought 10 new listings to market, which is 28.57% fewer than a year ago, while buyers put 11 homes under contract, matching last year’s pace.

Inventory tightened month over month, slipping 20% to just 8 active listings, though that level is still 14.29% higher than a year ago. No recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits at about 0.94, suggesting buyers and sellers are finding middle ground on final pricing. With a Seller's Market reading of 7 and projected inventory dipping to 7 homes, conditions lean toward sellers but still present options for buyers. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Chestnut Heights-Princess Place expert to navigate these trends and represent their interests effectively.

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.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff. From the beginning his approach was thoughtful and well-planned. The marketing was outstanding with beautiful photography, great drone shots, and a listing description that truly captured our home. Jeff was strategic in how he positioned and marketed everything, set clear expectations, and kept us informed throughout the process. He was always responsive and brought a level of knowledge and confidence that made the experience feel smooth and extremely well-managed especially with my Type A personality! We went under contract within just a few days, received multiple offers, and sold for over asking, which we were so happy with. His assistants Ashli, Hannah, and Brenna were also fantastic to work with and made everything that much easier along the way. We would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking to sell or buy!”

“Chris EXCEEDED our expectations. We have not bought a home in over 20 years and his knowledge, professionalism and above and beyond availability to answer every single question we had was impressive. He knew a house was out there for us and he found it! From the start of house hunting to closing, he was constantly in contact (even once during a Christmas vacation!). Moving from 14 hours away, he was our eyes and ears, and we cannot thank him enough for his true honesty. We will definitely use Chris again (but we hope to never sell!) Thank you does not even seem like enough, and we are so grateful for your expertise Chris!”

“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!”

“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!”
