Chappaqua, NY Real Estate Guide (2026)

Market Snapshot

Zillow puts Chappaqua’s average home value at $1,546,885, up 11.8% year-over-year (updated 7/31/2026). Redfin’s Aug 2026 data tells a different story: a median sale price of $899,405, down 18.2% year-over-year, with homes taking a median of 25 days to sell, up from 17 a year ago. The gap between the two is a reminder that Chappaqua’s inventory ranges from smaller colonials to multi-acre estates, so the median shifts a lot depending on what’s sold recently.
