Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Recent rolling three-month data for Downtown Wilmington shows several notable shifts from the prior period. Typical home values have pulled back nearly 15 percent month over month, while the median list price has inched up a few percent, suggesting sellers are still testing higher asking prices despite softer closing figures.

Inventory has been building, with active listings up slightly month over month and almost 13 percent higher than a year ago. Homes are taking longer to sell than last year, with median days on market rising about 22 percent to roughly 81 days. Months of supply has climbed sharply to just over 11 months, far higher than a year ago and well above the broader Wilmington city level of about 4.8 months.

From a demand standpoint, rolling three-month home sales in Downtown Wilmington are down more than a third year over year, and pending sales are also slightly lower than last year. Even so, typical home values are still up a bit compared with a year ago, and the share of homes selling above list has ticked higher. With the neighborhood positioned as a neutral market between buyers and sellers, conditions can feel complex to navigate. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent to help interpret these trends and move confidently through their next transaction.

Families appreciate proximity to New Hanover County Schools and the downtown New Hanover County Public Library, and students find Cape Fear Community College steps from the core.

“I’m grateful for Liz’s support throughout the purchase of my new home! I first connected with her on Instagram about a year ago, before I knew exactly when I would be ready to buy. She was patient and supportive of my timeline, stayed in touch, and worked with me from those initial conversations all the way through closing. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and encouragement meant a lot during a process that could feel overwhelming. I especially appreciated her willingness to step in, communicate with the builder, and help work through questions and concerns along the way. She has continued to be an excellent resource after closing, and I truly appreciate her ongoing support. Her check-ins helped me feel more at ease during a major life transition. Thank you, Liz, for the time, care, and effort you put into helping me make my new home a reality!”

“After 2 previous agents, contracts with multiple developers, many years tied up with those contracts and nothing to show for it, we contracted with Jeff Lesley. He worked with the developer and negotiated nonrefundable funds when they wanted multiple extensions. Those funds increased as they needed more time. Finally, we closed last week. Thank you Jeff for your persistence and professionalism.”

“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!”
