Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Year over year, Chester’s typical home value has risen while asking prices have climbed even faster, with the median list price up sharply compared to a year ago. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has edged down and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped, signaling buyers may have gained a bit more room to negotiate.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month view through April 2026, the typical home value sits around $200,896, while the median list price is higher at about $218,668. Homes are spending a long time on the market at a median of 114 days, which is markedly higher than a year ago and suggests buyers have more time to make decisions.
Inventory conditions show a mixed picture, with about 55 active listings and months of supply at 8.3, pointing to plenty of options even though the market gauge still labels Chester as a seller’s market. Recent activity has picked up, with homes sold up year over year, but new and pending listings are down over the same period, hinting at some cooling momentum. In this kind of shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands Chester’s trends and can guide their next move.

“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.”

“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!!”
Southern Charmed Realty LLC
“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. ”
All Seasons Realty
“I would recommend Allison to my Friends and family.”
