Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: Wilmington
2026-08-24
Is Wilmington’s housing affordability a mirage?
The latest Richmond Fed data shows median home prices rising faster than income growth—what does this mean for the long-term health of the market?
New numbers from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond show that the median home price in Wilmington hit $539K in Q2 2026, up 12.4% year-over-year.
This trend contrasts with income growth, which has risen only 4.8%, creating a growing affordability gap.
A similar pattern emerged in Williamson County, TN, where such mismatches led to declining buyer confidence and slower housing demand by mid-2026.
