Here's what April 2026 is telling us —

Median Sales Price: $430,000 ↑ 7.5% from last year

Prices are still climbing. If you've been waiting for a dip, the data isn't supporting that decision right now.

Days on Market: 79 days

Homes are taking a little longer to sell than a year ago — which means buyers have more room to negotiate than they did in 2025.

Sellers, this is your cue to price right from the start.

Months of Supply: 4.08

We're inching toward a balanced market (6 months = balanced). More inventory means more choices for buyers — and more competition for sellers.

Closed vs. New Listings: 1,101 closed · 1,749 new

More homes coming to market than are closing. That gap is worth watching.

Knowing these four numbers won't make you an expert — but it will make sure no one can talk you into or out of a decision without the data to back it up.

Every summer, people make the move they've been thinking about all year.
For a lot of them, that move is to Wilmington.

The reasons are consistent — the coast, the pace, the quality of life, the fact that you can actually afford to live well here compared to where they're coming from. What surprises most people is how quickly it starts to feel like home.

If you're relocating this summer — or helping someone who is — Dana Blanks Real Estate™ specializes in making that transition smooth. We know this market, we know the neighborhoods, and we know how to get you into the right home without the chaos.

Let's talk before the summer inventory moves.

Every city has a downtown. Wilmington's is different.

The Cape Fear River on one side. 230 years of architecture on the other. Independent restaurants, local galleries, walkable streets that actually have somewhere to go. And real estate that holds its value because the neighborhood has earned it for two centuries.

Historic Downtown Wilmington isn't just where people visit. It's where people decide to stay.

Memorial Day weekend in Wilmington means one thing: the coast is officially open.

We honor and remember those who made it possible to live freely in places like this — on this coast, in this city, in the homes and neighborhoods we're privileged to call ours.

From our team to yours — enjoy every moment of this long weekend on the Cape Fear coast.

Dana Blanks Real Estate isn't a solo operation.

Carolyn Blue grew up here — and nearly a decade in real estate on top of a lifetime of local knowledge means her clients get something most advisors can't offer: someone who actually knows the neighborhoods, the history, and the nuances that don't show up on any MLS report.

First-time buyers, move-up families, relocation clients, investors — Carolyn brings the same standard of care to every transaction.

Her listing at 1091 Bridgeport Way in Leland is a good example of what that looks like in practice — a well-priced home, represented well, for clients who trusted her to get it right.

That's the standard at Dana Blanks Real Estate. Every advisor. Every transaction.

All of this, just minutes from I-40, Downtown Wilmington, and the coast.

Before peak season arrives, here's what buyers and sellers in Wilmington need to know.

For buyers: inventory is tight and summer demand is real. Pre-approval in hand, clear on your criteria, and ready to move when the right home appears. Hesitation has a cost in this market.

For sellers: summer brings motivated buyers — but pricing discipline still matters. The homes that move are the ones priced to the data, not to hope.

The advisors at Dana Blanks Real Estate navigate both sides of this market every day. The window is open. Let's use it well.
