“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Forest Hills has seen notable year-over-year movement in this rolling three-month view. Typical home values are up more than 15% compared with a year ago, reaching about $750,000. At the same time, the median list price is down double digits year over year, signaling some pricing adjustments from sellers.
Inventory has expanded significantly, with active listings up more than two-thirds from a year ago and about 40 homes on the market. Months of supply has climbed to roughly 7.2, far higher than both last year and Wilmington overall, where supply is closer to 3.7 months, indicating relatively looser conditions in Forest Hills than in the broader city. Homes are also taking much longer to sell, with the median days on market now close to seven weeks, a sharp increase from the faster pace seen last year.
Looking at recent activity, about 11 homes sold in the latest rolling three-month period, slightly fewer than a year earlier even as new listings and pending sales have edged higher. Only around 18% of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 97%, suggesting buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than before. With values rising but listings staying on the market longer, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional who understands Forest Hills and can guide their next move.
Learn more about what Forest Hills has to offer.
Forest Hills offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with tree-lined streets, convenient shops and parks nearby, and a strong sense of togetherness.
Forest Hills stands out in Wilmington for its graceful, older tree canopy, wide streets, and sense of continuity that newer subdivisions often lack. Located just minutes from downtown Wilmington, the neighborhood feels residential and established while keeping dining, culture, and the riverfront within easy reach.
Many homes here date from the early to mid‑1900s, with architecture that reflects the area’s long history. Neighbors walk dogs along quiet blocks, kids ride bikes to nearby Forest Hills Global Elementary School, and residents gather for everyday errands or a quick meal along Market Street. Green space is a major draw, with Wallace Park and Empie Park close by for tennis, playgrounds, and shaded strolls.
The neighborhood’s location makes weekend plans simple. You can head downtown to Thalian Hall for a performance, cross town to Greenfield Lake Park for trails and water views, or connect easily to other established areas like Brooklyn Arts District.
Because Forest Hills properties are limited and rarely feel cookie‑cutter, timing and preparation matter. Buyers benefit from an agent who understands off‑market opportunities, older home considerations, and competitive pricing. Long‑time owners considering a move need guidance on strategic updates, staging for this specific buyer pool, and choosing the right moment to list. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with an experienced Forest Hills specialist who is ready when you are.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“We truly had the best experience working with Liz! She was responsive, knowledgeable, and always went above and beyond for us. She made buying our home so easy and stress-free, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. She communicated every step of the way with us, checking in with any update no matter how big or small. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Andrew Harris has been the most helpful, professional person we dealt with so far. He goes above and beyond to insure his clients have the information and services they need. I highly recommend Andrew (A )”
“Jeff Lesley and his team provided service beyond my expectations. I had to have new flooring installed in my unit. Since I live out of town, he selected samples of flooring and emailed them to me to make a select. He recommended an attorney for me to use and a handyman to install my flooring. In addition, his team returned equipment and picked up keys for me. Therefore, I didn't have to make a 2 1/2 hour drive to the beach. Jeff and his team are very professional. I couldn't have picked a better agent. I highly recommend Jeff.”
“Chris is a truly exceptional sales professional as well as an honest and reliable realtor. I have recommended him to neighbors . I appreciated his above and beyond service as much as his low stress and friendly manner .”
“From start to finish, Pam was friendly, professional, great communicator, patient, and knowledgeable of the complete process. Pam listened to our needs and wants and strived to help us find a new home that was a perfect new start.”
“Neil is great! He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely refer him to anyone that asks if I know a local agent.”
“Kelly Bossman was wonderful to work with. She made herself available for any and all questions and very supportive even when I was 'clueless' about the whole process. Very thankful to have had her at my side!”
“Bea Desmond was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable about the market, always responsive to the many questions we had & always the utmost professional! We could not have asked for a better agent.”
“Oscar was great to deal. I will use him to buy my next home.”
“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!”
“Dave Robertson was very patient and got the job done! He was very positive and professional throughout this experience!”
