As we step into August, the real estate market across Madera County’s mountain and foothill communities remains active, with steady movement across new listings, pending sales, closings, and price adjustments. Buyers continue searching for lifestyle homes—many looking to settle before the fall season begins.
Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or selling a vacation property, this weekly snapshot will give you insight into what’s happening right now in key areas like Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Coarsegold, and beyond.
With 5 closed sales this week, Oakhurst once again proves to be a highly active and in-demand area. Despite having only 2 active listings, homes are clearly moving fast—a sign of both seller readiness and strong buyer demand.
Coarsegold holds the highest number of active listings at 6 and a solid 4 homes currently under contract. This indicates that buyers are actively engaging with new inventory, and sellers should take advantage of this momentum while it's still summer.
Bass Lake posted 1 new active listing, 1 under contract, and 1 closed sale—demonstrating consistent movement in this sought-after lakeside community. With one price change, it’s a good reminder that competitive pricing continues to matter, even in desirable vacation markets.
North Fork: 1 active, 1 closed. Quiet but moving.
Ahwahnee: 1 active, but no change this week.
Wawona: Posted a rare closed sale, showing buyers are keeping an eye even on limited-inventory areas.
Raymond & Yosemite: Each had an expired listing, which can be an opportunity for a relist with a fresh strategy.
Inventory is still modest in many areas, and homes that are well-prepared and priced competitively are selling—some within days. If you're in a high-interest zone like Oakhurst or Coarsegold, it could be the right time to list and take advantage of peak summer buyer activity. Properties in Bass Lake, in particular, benefit from summer tourism and lake-season interest.
A few tips:
Price smartly—monitor neighboring listings and recent closings.
Prep for showings—August buyers are motivated and often ready to act fast.
Consider staging—especially outdoor spaces, which shine this time of year.
Interest remains steady, but some areas are starting to see reduced competition as early summer rush fades. Coarsegold’s availability and range of listings provide great opportunities if you’re searching for space, value, or a bit more room to negotiate. Act quickly on well-priced homes, particularly in Oakhurst, where demand is high.
A few considerations:
Get pre-approved to be competitive.
Watch for price changes—they can signal motivated sellers.
Think ahead to fall—buying now could mean a smooth move-in before the holidays.
August is typically a transition month in real estate—buyers and sellers alike are trying to wrap up transactions before school starts, vacations end, and fall routines return. We expect to see more price adjustments, increased urgency from buyers, and potentially new listings hitting the market as sellers make final pushes before Labor Day.
Whether you're looking to settle into a mountain cabin, downsize, or upgrade to a dream home, this time of year is full of opportunity.
If you’re thinking of selling or buying in Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Coarsegold, Ahwahnee, North Fork, or nearby areas, now is a great time to connect. Contact us about your real estate goals and how the current market conditions can work in your favor.
