Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Chester currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge pointing to a seller's market at 18. Months of supply sits at 2.6, which is still below the roughly balanced level of around 5 to 6 months. Homes are spending a median of 26 days on the market in this rolling three‑month view.
Home values have been rising over the past year, with the typical home value up about 7 percent compared with a year ago. At the same time, fewer properties are changing hands, as homes sold are down more than 20 percent year over year and pending sales have also declined. New listings and active listings have both fallen compared with last year, which keeps inventory tight even as demand cools.
Sellers are not seeing the same bidding pressure as in prior years, with only about 20 percent of homes selling above list price versus more than 40 percent a year ago and the average sale‑to‑list ratio just under 99 percent. Still, roughly 31 percent of homes go off the market within two weeks, showing that well‑priced homes can move quickly. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate Chester’s shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands this data-driven landscape and can guide their decisions.

“Carrie Shelton was absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying process! She was so kind, professional, and efficient, and she truly advocated for us every step of the way. She made what could have been a stressful process so much easier, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. She even surprised us with a thoughtful welcome-home gift, which meant so much to us! We absolutely love Carrie and are so grateful we had her as our realtor. We would recommend her to absolutely anybody looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who genuinely cares about you and your experience, Carrie is the one!”
“This is my guy right here!!!! This man means business for his customers. I don't know a lot of real estate agents that get down and dirty for their clients and this man will not hesitate to make sure what you are buying is worth what you're about to invest into. He doesn't just go the extra mile, he goes the distance! Always respectful ,polite ,answers your calls and texts, updates frequently, through and through I highly recommend him. If you think you can't find a house, think again. He's pretty good at wheres waldo,he will find your future home and help bring it in for a smooth landing. Very easy to collaborate negotiation tactics with and ideas with, he studies the area and the housing market he even goes as far as schools and even more when looking. All in all it really calm smooth experience. Highly highly recommended !”

“Venus was patient as we took our time getting the house ready, She gave us ideas to improve the house, provided referrals to get the work done. Once we were done she got our house on the market quickly and we sold our house in a weekend!! Closed in a month! She helped us go through the offers to select the one that best met our needs. Her team was responsive to questions and answered emails or text quickly, helping reduce our anxiety. Venus made going into retirement a little easier.”
“Jamie and his team are top tier. I have full confidence that we would not have had the same level of success had we not partnered with them. For those looking for a team that differentiates themselves, James Strum and the Strum Group is the obvious choice!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had countless questions throughout the process, but Billy was always incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We are so grateful for all of his hard work and dedication.”

She kept us informed throughout the process in the sell and purchase of the homes. She and her team were very responsive and provided clear, accurate advice and responses. The process was very smooth. In the sell of our home she provided excellent advice on what we needed to do to prepare and show the home. On the purchase of our new home she worked very hard to get us the best deal. I was extremely satisfied and appreciative of the work and support provided by Ana and her team.”

“Meagan is an AMAZING real estate professional! She listened, understood our goals, and helped us navigate the preparation of our home for the market. When the time came to list, she marketed our home creating a beautiful video that helped highlight the many wonderful attributes of our home. This enabled us to receive a full price offer in 7 days! During this process, Meagan promptly answered any questions that we had and checked in on us throughout the moving process. After the sale of our home, Meagan has remained very accessible. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs!”
“From our very first meeting Sheila blew us away. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and market trends. She laid out her plan for getting our house sold in the time frame we needed.

“First, I want to say the team at Crews Realty are “Amazing”! I needed to sell my home fast because I was under contract for a new built and I needed the funds to put down on my new house. I reached out to Crews Realty 30 days before I was supposed to close on my new built. Well, I tell you they knew the assignment. They quickly listed my house and received multiple offers. Because of their advice and expertise my house was under and quickly sold for more than the listing price. I am truly grateful to Crews Realty for all they did to ensure that my house sold in a timely manner. Thank you so much for accomplishing this in such a short window of time. I highly recommend Crews Realty to anyone looking to sell or purchase a house. Not only will they get the job done but they will make you feel valued through the whole process.”

“Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are to have worked with Erica! She was so knowledgeable and kind. As first time homebuyers the process can be extremely stressful and overwhelming. Erica answered every question and concern we had with such grace. She validated our feelings and navigated us through every step of the process. I will recommend her to everyone we know looking to buy or sell our home!”
“Chris is a fantastic agent, was very knowledgeable about the buying process from start to finish, and made great suggestions about how to go about things. He was in constant communication about everything relevant, and is very personable. I had a great experience with him as my purchasing agent, and would highly recommend him to anyone!!! We still are in contact even after I finished purchasing the house, as he has been very helpful with recommendations, and helping me out with my questions and issues. Can say enough how wonderful is was working with Chris to secure my first home. Thank you Chris!!!”
