Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Forest Hills is seeing notable year-over-year shifts in this rolling three-month view. The typical home value is up about 11% from a year ago, reaching roughly $732,000, while the median list price has climbed around 7%. Compared with the broader Wilmington market, Forest Hills homes are selling at a higher price point, with Wilmington’s median sale price closer to $479,000.
Inventory conditions look very different than they did last year. Active listings have surged nearly 80% year over year to 32 homes, and months of supply has expanded from about 1.4 a year ago to 6.3, indicating a looser balance between buyers and available homes. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market rising from just 3 days last year to 31 days in the latest period, even as off-market-in-two-weeks activity still approaches half of listings.
Momentum in closed deals and new inventory shows a mixed picture. Homes sold are up slightly from last year, and new listings have jumped nearly 47%, yet the share of homes selling above list price has fallen sharply to about 9% and the average sale-to-list ratio now sits just above 97%. Although Forest Hills is still labeled a seller’s market, these trends suggest buyers have more room to negotiate, and sellers must price carefully, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding the right local agent.
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.

“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!”
