Madera County Real Estate Market Update - Week of February 09-15 2026
As we move deeper into February, the real estate market across Madera County and nearby mountain communities continues to quietly gain strength. While the activity may look selective at first glance, this week’s CRMLS Matrix report tells a very encouraging story: buyers are actively committing, homes are closing, and inventory remains limited in key areas—a combination that often sets the stage for a strong and competitive spring market.
This is the phase where informed buyers and proactive sellers position themselves for success.

1 Active Listing
Bass Lake continues to show extremely limited inventory. With just one active listing available, opportunities here remain rare. This type of low supply often strengthens seller positioning and keeps buyer interest high—especially for lifestyle, vacation, and second-home properties.
2 Active Listings
3 Homes Under Contract
1 Expired Listing
1 Cancelled/Withdrawn Listing
Oakhurst once again demonstrated strong buyer engagement. With more homes under contract than actively listed, demand remains very clear. Buyers are watching closely and acting decisively when the right property becomes available.
The cancelled and expired listings reinforce an important reminder: pricing and presentation matter. Homes that align with the market are moving quickly, while others create opportunity for new, well-positioned listings to stand out.
2 Homes Under Contract
2 Closed Sales
1 Expired Listing
Coarsegold delivered one of the strongest performances this week. Closed sales confirm that buyers are not just writing offers—they’re successfully reaching the finish line. This validates pricing and builds confidence for both buyers and sellers moving forward.
Multiple pending and closed transactions signal a healthy absorption rate and continued interest in this popular foothill community.
1 Closed Sale
A closed sale in Ahwahnee is a great sign of stability and buyer confidence. Even with limited inventory, transactions are completing successfully, reinforcing the long-term appeal of this area.
1 Price Change
A price adjustment in Raymond signals seller responsiveness to market conditions—often a positive indicator for buyers watching closely for value. Strategic price changes frequently bring renewed attention and increased showing activity.
Areas such as North Fork, Fish Camp, Wawona, Yosemite, and Wishon remained quiet this week. However, low activity often means low competition, which can be a major advantage—especially for sellers preparing to list or buyers seeking less crowded market conditions before spring demand increases.
Buyers are clearly active—and they’re getting into contract and closing homes before the spring rush begins.
Right now, buyers benefit from:
Limited inventory, which keeps pricing stable
Serious sellers who are ready to move forward
Fewer competing offers than peak season
More thoughtful and strategic negotiations
The number of homes under contract and closed this week confirms that buyers who are prepared and decisive are finding success. Waiting until spring may mean more competition and faster-moving listings.
For sellers, this is a very encouraging market environment.
Homes are going under contract quickly in key areas
Closed sales are validating values
Inventory remains tight across much of the region
When pending and closed sales outpace new listings—as seen in Oakhurst and Coarsegold—it often creates favorable conditions for sellers. Listing now or preparing to list soon can mean higher visibility, motivated buyers, and fewer competing properties.
The data continues to support one key strategy: pricing correctly from the start and presenting your home well makes a powerful difference.
This week’s CRMLS report reinforces a clear trend: the Madera County real estate market is active, balanced, and quietly strengthening.
We’re seeing:
Consistent buyer engagement
Healthy absorption rates
Meaningful closed sales
Sellers adjusting strategically
Inventory remaining limited
These are all signs of a market that is preparing to accelerate as we head toward spring.
February is often the bridge between winter and the spring market—and based on current activity, momentum is already building. Buyers are positioning early, sellers are testing the market, and closed sales are confirming confidence.
Those who act now often benefit most—whether that means securing the right home before competition increases or listing before inventory rises.
If you’re considering buying, selling, or simply want to understand how these trends affect your home’s value or buying power, now is an excellent time to start the conversation. Real estate decisions are strongest when guided by current data, local expertise, and a strategy tailored to your goals.
Madera County and our surrounding mountain communities continue to offer lifestyle, opportunity, and long-term value—and 2026 is shaping up to be a very exciting year in real estate.
Here’s to continued momentum and smart moves in the weeks ahead!
