19802 Market Pulse: Balanced
Neither side has a clear advantage. Pricing, condition, and local price range matter more than the headline score.
Pending ratio: 39%. About 3-4 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 54 days to sell, which is fast.

Local market questions
19802 housing market FAQs
Is 19802 a buyer’s market or seller’s market?
Here's what we're seeing: ZIP 19802 currently shows balanced conditions, with a ZIP-level Market Pulse of 42 as of 2026-10-18. Neither side has a clear edge right now: sellers still see steady interest when homes are priced well, and buyers get room to negotiate terms without the frenzy of a seller's market. Pricing and the individual home matter most.
How does 19802 compare with Wilmington overall?
ZIP 19802 reads 42 (balanced conditions) as of 2026-10-18, while Wilmington overall reads 70 (seller advantage) as of 2026-10-18. The two point to different conditions — your specific neighborhood can tell a different story than the city as a whole. Neither measures an individual home.
Does the 19802 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?
No. The Pulse describes negotiating conditions across ZIP 19802 — not what a particular home is worth. A real pricing review needs recent comparable sales, current competing listings, and your home's condition and features.
How recent is the 19802 market reading?
The ZIP-level Market Pulse shown here is from 2026-10-18. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and the city and other ZIP reports may show different dates.
What should buyers watch in 19802?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 19802?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Wilmington report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
