Chesterfield Township's median sold price runs approximately $310,000 to $350,000 as of
2026, with homes typically going pending in 19 to 33 days. Prices in Chesterfield move
heavily on water access — a canal or bay home and an inland subdivision home of the
same square footage are not comparable sales, so a township-wide median can hide a real
