Chesterfield, VA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Chesterfield, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Chesterfield sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 891
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $426,665
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $212
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $347,500 and $555,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 891 closed sales in Chesterfield over the last six months, with a median closing price of $426,665. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $347,500 and $555,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 83% of the Chesterfield closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 889 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $188 and $237 per square foot.

Where Chesterfield sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Chesterfield over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $347,500 and $555,000. Among the 57 Virginia markets with a published band, Chesterfield's middle-half spread ($347,500 to $555,000) ranks 25th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 7 days, across 665 Chesterfield closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 32 days, across 737 Chesterfield closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Chesterfield angle

891 closings means a comp screen can be strict on several dimensions at once, and the usual excuse for widening a search does not apply here. If your set is thin, the filters are probably wrong rather than the market. The interquartile band is middling in width against other markets, which makes $426,665 a reasonable orientation point and a poor final answer. Depth is what earns you the right to move past it, so use the depth. The distribution leans upward: the span from $426,665 to $555,000 is longer than the span from $347,500 to $426,665. Say which half you are working in when you report a figure.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Chesterfield address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Chesterfield over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is.
