Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in July 2026, Chester’s home values have climbed strongly compared to a year earlier. Typical home value is up about 19% year over year, while the median list price has risen more than 25%, signaling sellers are testing higher pricing as demand supports those gains.
Conditions on the ground show a market that is active but not overheated. Median days on market have fallen sharply over the past year to about 70 days, yet months of supply has expanded to nearly 10 months, indicating buyers have more options even as prices trend higher.
Sales activity and pricing power are moving in different directions. Homes sold over the rolling period are down roughly 45% from a year ago, but the share selling above list price has increased to about 20% and the average sale-to-list ratio has ticked up, showing that well-positioned homes can still command strong offers. In this kind of mixed environment, both buyers and sellers in Chester can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an agent who understands the latest trends and nuances in the local market.
Chester offers residents a welcoming small-town vibe with a close-knit community, rich local history, and easy access to parks, trails, and everyday conveniences.

“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.”
