Chester real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chester real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Chester’s home values have climbed strongly over the past year, rising about 16.2% to a typical value of roughly $412,500. That pace far outstrips Orange County overall, where values are around $440,000 and up a more modest 3.53% year over year. Inventory has also expanded sharply in Chester, up about 120% from last year, signaling more options than buyers saw before.
February 2026 data shows a median list price near $370,000 and just 11 homes on the market, with 5 new listings and 4 pending sales. Homes are taking much longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to 105, an increase of about 138.64% compared with last year and up sharply month over month as well.
Despite slower timelines, conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in a seller’s market gauge of 28 and an average sale-to-list ratio above 1.04, with half of recent sales closing above asking price. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected to edge up to about $422,525, and the median list price is expected to move toward $407,500 while inventory holds at roughly 11 homes, suggesting gradually rising prices alongside steady supply. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a skilled local real estate agent in Chester.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
