Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chester County real estate market. *
July 2026
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 (Jul 2026).
Listing and sales activity in Chester County has cooled from earlier in the year. Active listings in July dipped slightly from the prior month, while homes sold and new listings both fell sharply month over month. Pending sales also dropped by more than a quarter, signaling a slower flow of properties going under contract.
Prices are holding firm despite this softer activity. The typical home value is up nearly 25% from a year ago, and median list prices are higher than last year and jumped more than 5% from June. Homes are also closing a bit closer to asking price, with the average sale-to-list ratio improving both month over month and year over year.
Timing dynamics show a mixed picture for buyers and sellers. Median days on market have decreased notably in the last month, yet inventory has expanded to about 6.4 months of supply, well above the 4.8 months seen across South Carolina and consistent with a buyer’s market label. A smaller share of homes is selling above list price compared with earlier this year, even though that share is slightly higher than a year ago. With fewer new listings coming on and conditions varying by price point and neighborhood, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands how to navigate this shifting market.
Chester County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a close-knit community with easy access to regional amenities.

“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.”
