Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Chester County is seeing moderate inventory with 214 active listings in May, down slightly from last month but up compared with a year ago. New listings have slowed, dropping more than 30% year over year, which means fewer fresh options coming to market. Pending sales are also down from last year, suggesting a more measured pace of homes going under contract.
Prices are holding relatively steady despite these shifts. The typical home value is just under $290,000 and is down only slightly from a year ago, while the median list price has slipped a bit more year over year. Compared with the state as a whole, where the median sale price is higher at about $352,000, Chester County offers a more affordable option for buyers.
Homes are taking longer to sell than they did last year, with the median days on market at 75, even though that figure has improved sharply from April. Months of supply has fallen month over month to 4.1, but is still much higher than a year ago, reinforcing the neutral market balance between buyers and sellers. Only about 12% of homes are closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 98%, pointing to modest negotiation on both sides. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands these conditions and can guide them confidently through the 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.”
