Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in College Acres-Hillsdale has inched up in this rolling three-month view, with 26 active listings, about 14% higher than a year ago. Contract activity is steady to stronger, as homes sold are up roughly 12% year over year and pending sales have climbed nearly 29%. New listings are also slightly higher than last year, helping keep choices available even as demand holds.
Pricing looks very different from a year ago. The typical home value over the latest three months is about $900,000, more than double its level from the same period last year, even as the median list price is down by more than half year over year, pointing to a mix of higher-end closings alongside more modestly priced offerings.
Homes are taking longer to sell in this snapshot, with the median days on market jumping to 78 compared with much quicker timelines last year, yet the sale-to-list price ratio has inched up above 98%, and none of the recent sales closed above asking. With 2.9 months of supply, the neighborhood is still tighter than the broader Wilmington market, which sits at 3.7 months of supply and a far lower median sale price. Buyers and sellers who want to understand these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who knows how to navigate this evolving market for both sides.

“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!”
