Chester real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chester real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year figures in Chester are limited, but comparison with Morris County helps set the scene, with the county’s typical home value at about $660,008 and down 4.35%. Chester’s current typical home value is far lower at roughly $180,000, signaling a very different price point than the broader county.
Looking at March 2026, listing activity in Chester was extremely light, with only 3 homes on the market and just 1 new listing. Homes also took a long time to move, spending a median of 148 days on the market, and selling for about 96.5% of list price with no recorded sales closing above asking.
Projections into April 2026 point to stability in several measures, with inventory expected to hold at 3 listings and the median list price staying near $1,375,000. The projected typical home value figure appears sharply lower at about –$45,000, reflecting data volatility more than a clear price trend, so buyers and sellers will want an expert local agent to interpret what’s really happening, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right professional to guide their decisions.

Century 21 Elite Realty
“Dan Simms was exceptional throughout our home-buying journey. As first-time buyers preparing to welcome our first child, this was an incredibly important milestone for our family. Navigating a competitive market wasn’t easy, but Daniel’s knowledge, responsiveness, and steady guidance made the entire process feel manageable. He truly listened to what we wanted and helped us find a house that has become our home sweet home. We’re incredibly grateful for his professionalism and support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
RE/MAX At Barnegat Bay
“Working with Connie was a joy! She was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made recommendations on how to present our house, which I believe greatly enhanced it attractiveness. She understood pricing in our area, and positioned our house for a reasonable sale. She also knew about local regulations (like the need for fire alarm inspection) and advised us to take care of them so the did not hold up closing. Finally she was readily available. If she could not answer our calls, she was very prompt in calling back, and she was always ready to listen to our questions. She made a very stressful time much more tolerable.”
Coldwell Banker Realty
“I bought my second house with Bryan, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He’s incredibly trustworthy, timely, and has an excellent attention to detail. His deep local knowledge made the process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a dependable and professional realtor!”

Berkshire Hathaway BHHS Fox & Roach
“My agent was Lucy Phelan at Keller Williams, and I had a great experience working with both Lucy and her brother Richard. Both had provided me with their expert advice, they would take extra steps to educate you and walk you thru the home shopping process. They would work on my schedule, try their best to answer all my questions and would point me to the right direction when I was looking for the lender, inspector, lawyer, etc. As a home buyer in this "Bidding War" market, most of my offers were turned down; however, both Lucy and Rich have continuously provided me encouragement to keep trying and looking. I cannot remember how many houses we have looked together...and when I was not able to look at the houses in person, they would video call me to conduct a virtual home showing. In general, they are exceptionally good with people skill, nice/friendly people to talk with and they show care on other things then just home buying. I would like to work with them again in the future and would recommend them to any home buyer/seller.”
