Year-over-year trends in Chester’s rolling three-month data point to meaningful cooling on the price side, with the typical home value down more than 12 percent compared to a year ago. At the same time, median list prices have nudged a few percent higher, suggesting sellers are still testing the market even as buyers see more value.
Inventory conditions have shifted sharply over the past year, with months of supply surging to about 10.7 months, up several hundred percent from a year earlier. Homes are also taking far longer to sell, with the median days on market now well over 100 days on a rolling basis, highlighting a slower pace and more negotiating room for buyers.
Looking at the latest rolling period through May 2026, the number of homes sold has fallen by nearly a third year over year, and pending sales are down by a similar margin, confirming softer demand. Only a small share of homes, a bit over 7 percent, are closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just above 93 percent, so final prices often land below initial asking. In this kind of shifting market, both buyers seeking value and sellers aiming to price strategically can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding a local agent who understands these trends.

“Chanda Green is a remarkable realtor who went above and beyond to help me sell my fathers house in Matthews NC. With me living in Massachusetts, it was very difficult at times, and Chanda did whatever she could to help me so I could be here with my family in MA. I whole heartedly recommend Chanda as she is a class act of what a true professional and intelligent realtor is. Thank you again Chanda for helping me through this whole process.

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Joshua Kelly and the entire Steadfast team. They were very patient, prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and responsive, especially considering my move entailed an out-of-state component to it. I would absolutely recommend them for future homebuyers.”
“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with. Selling our home had its challenges, but his persistence and urgency allowed our home to sell sooner than expected. I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”
“Loved working with Judi, who is very personable and has good attention to detail. I learned so much about this kind of transaction (sale of bare property) from dealing with Judi.”
“I contacted Agent Pronto because I didn't have any personal experience with any realtors so I went to Agent Pronto for guidance. They gave me Tammy Nantz Hoey as my contact and I am so very happy and pleased that they did. Tammy was a great help and motivator. Tammy met contractors at the house so I would not have to miss work and was always positive and uplifting. Tammy kept me informed throughout the entire process of the progress of inspections, closing, etc. I highly recommend Tammy Nantz Hoey. She is the best!!”
“As a first time home buyer, I had no knowledge of the real estate market or the process of home buying. Traci looked out for me every step of the way, ensuring I was getting the best deal and answering any questions. When I found the home I wanted to purchase, Traci was able to get me a few extra incentives from the seller. It's those little things that really matter and I appreciated her attentiveness to seeing that I was happy with my home purchase. ”
“I would recommend Allison to my Friends and family.”
