Madera County Real Estate Market Update - Week of December 1-7, 2025
CRMLS Matrix | Stars and Stripes Realty
As we welcome the first week of December, the real estate market in Madera County and the surrounding Sierra mountain and foothill communities continues to show steady momentum—and even a few surprises. While winter often brings a slowdown in many markets, our region is proving once again that buyers remain active, sellers are still making strategic moves, and opportunities continue to open up for anyone considering a real estate decision before year-end.
This week’s numbers reveal new listings, strong pending activity, a solid number of closings, and market adjustments that benefit both sides of the transaction. Let’s explore what happened and what it means for you.

Heading into the holiday season, fresh inventory is a major win for buyers—and this week delivered meaningful movement:
Oakhurst brought 3 new active listings, giving buyers more opportunities in one of the most desirable and conveniently located communities in the region. If you've been waiting for new options in Oakhurst, this is a great week to explore what's become available.
Even one community adding several new listings at once has a positive ripple effect—it boosts buyer options and signals that homeowners still feel confident entering the market, even in early December.
While winter often means slower activity, Madera County saw buyers continuing to pursue homes:
Oakhurst posted 1 new pending/under contract,
Coarsegold showed strong momentum with 2 pending homes this week.
This confirms that serious buyers are not waiting for January. Many are looking to secure a home now in order to settle in before the new year or get a jump start on 2026.
For sellers, this is especially encouraging—motivated buyers are out in full force, and your home can attract attention even during the holiday season.
This week also brought successful closings in two active communities:
Oakhurst recorded 1 closed sale,
Coarsegold also had 1 closing.
Seeing closings early in December is a strong indicator that deals are being finalized and that both buyers and sellers are successfully navigating the process during a typically slower month.
One of the more eye-catching numbers this week came from Coarsegold:
6 expired listings were recorded.
While this might seem negative at first glance, it actually opens the door for new sellers. Expired listings often indicate that outdated pricing, poor marketing, or timing issues got in the way—not a lack of buyer interest. In fact, Coarsegold continues to see strong buyer activity, as shown by its pending sales and closings.
For homeowners in Coarsegold, this is a strategic moment to list: fresh, well-presented homes can capture buyer attention immediately.
Price improvements are helping boost market activity:
Coarsegold posted 2 price changes, signaling motivated sellers and competitive market positioning.
These adjustments often invite renewed interest, making this an excellent time for buyers to take advantage of newly aligned pricing.
Despite entering the winter season:
✨ Buyers are still writing offers across multiple communities.
✨ Coarsegold and Oakhurst continue to show strong activity and closings.
✨ Fresh listings in Oakhurst mean buyers are still watching the market closely.
✨ Expired listings open a window for new sellers to shine.
If you're considering selling, listing now could mean less competition and more motivated buyers viewing your home.
Buyers who wait until January often face:
❌ Higher competition,
❌ New-year price adjustments, and
❌ Increased buyer activity.
Right now, buyers benefit from:
✔ Newly adjusted pricing,
✔ Motivated sellers,
✔ New December inventory,
✔ Less competition during the holidays.
