Week of 12/15/2025 – 12/21/2025 | CRMLS Matrix Report
As we head deeper into the holiday season, the real estate market across Madera County and nearby foothill and mountain communities continues to show encouraging signs of stability, opportunity, and movement. While winter is traditionally a quieter time of year, this week’s data proves that motivated buyers and sellers are still actively making moves—and positioning themselves ahead of the new year.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening and why this could be a great moment to take action.

Oakhurst stood out as the most active market this week, with:
4 homes currently under contract or pending, showing strong buyer demand
3 closed sales, confirming that homes are not just being listed—they’re selling
Only 1 active listing, which points to limited inventory and a competitive environment for buyers
This combination is especially positive for sellers, as low inventory and steady buyer interest can help support pricing and reduce time on market.
Coarsegold also delivered solid results, with:
2 active listings
2 closed sales, indicating a healthy balance between supply and demand
Minimal market friction, with very few cancellations or price changes
This tells us that well-priced homes in desirable locations are continuing to attract serious buyers, even during the slower winter months.
Bass Lake saw light but meaningful activity, including:
1 active listing
1 expired listing, suggesting that pricing and presentation still matter—but also that opportunity exists for sellers who position their homes correctly
Many of the surrounding areas such as North Fork, Ahwahnee, Fish Camp, Wawona, Yosemite, Wishon, and Raymond experienced minimal activity this week. While that may look quiet on paper, it actually signals opportunity—especially for sellers considering listing early in the new year, when buyer demand typically increases and competition remains low.
For buyers, this market offers a strategic advantage. With fewer active listings overall, serious buyers are standing out—and sellers are more open to working with motivated, well-prepared purchasers. The fact that multiple homes went under contract and closed this week shows that buyers who act decisively are being rewarded.
Shopping now also means less competition than the spring market rush, giving buyers more breathing room to negotiate terms, timelines, and inspections.
For sellers, the takeaway is clear: homes are selling, even in December. Areas like Oakhurst and Coarsegold demonstrate that buyers are actively looking, and limited inventory can work in your favor. Proper pricing, strong marketing, and local expertise are key to ensuring your home doesn’t linger on the market.
Listing now—or preparing to list early in the new year—can position your home ahead of the spring surge, when buyer demand traditionally spikes.
This week’s CRMLS data reinforces a positive message: the Madera County real estate market remains resilient, balanced, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or selling an investment property, timing and strategy matter—and the current market conditions support thoughtful action.
