Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Briar Chapel real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Briar Chapel currently leans toward sellers, with conditions tilted in their favor. The market gauge sits at 26 out of 100, indicating sellers still have an edge even as dynamics shift. Months of supply are at 3, which is below the level typically associated with a balanced market.
Home values are moving up, with the typical home value at about $612,500, up 3.64% over the past year and 1.66% in the last month. List prices, however, are adjusting, with the median list price at $659,000 in February and projected to ease to $621,000 in March. Compared with Chatham County overall, where the typical home value stands near $688,685, Briar Chapel offers slightly more affordable options while still showing steady appreciation.
Inventory and time on market help explain the mixed signals buyers and sellers are seeing. There were 18 homes available in February, up 28.57% month over month, and 11 new listings, while median days on market jumped to 156, up sharply both month over month and year over year by more than 100% and 300% respectively. About 27.78% of listings saw a price drop, no homes sold above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio was 0.98, suggesting sellers are negotiating more as buyers gain some leverage. With projected inventory rising to 20 homes and pending sales down 30% year over year, both buyers and sellers in Briar Chapel can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these evolving conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
