This week’s data paints a picture of a balanced and healthy market—with strong buyer activity and consistent listings across the region.
Oakhurst continues to lead the foothill real estate scene! With 3 active listings, 3 homes under contract, 2 expired listings, and 3 closed sales, it’s clear that this community remains one of the most sought-after areas in the Sierra foothills. Buyers love Oakhurst for its perfect blend of mountain charm, modern conveniences, and proximity to Yosemite National Park. Sellers in Oakhurst are benefiting from a solid stream of qualified buyers eager to move before winter sets in.
The Coarsegold market stayed busy as well, with 1 active listing, 4 homes under contract, and 2 closed sales—plus 1 price adjustment that caught buyers’ attention. These numbers show a market that’s vibrant and adaptable. Coarsegold’s spacious lots, scenic views, and welcoming neighborhoods continue to attract families and retirees alike. Properties priced strategically and presented well are moving quickly, reflecting strong buyer confidence in this charming community.
Over at beautiful Bass Lake, we saw 1 new active listing, 1 closed sale, and 2 price changes. With the cooler weather arriving, lakefront homes and cabins are becoming even more desirable as people look forward to cozy fall and winter getaways. For sellers, adjusting prices strategically could make all the difference in attracting serious buyers who are ready to invest in a lake lifestyle.
While areas like North Fork, Ahwahnee, Fish Camp, Wawona, Wishon, and Raymond didn’t record new sales activity this week, that’s often typical for this time of year. Many sellers in these areas are preparing their homes for the market ahead of the busy holiday and new year season. The quiet weeks often mean opportunity—for both buyers looking for less competition and sellers planning strong listings as demand picks back up in November.
The market’s activity this week shows that serious buyers are still out there—and they’re making moves. Multiple communities saw homes go under contract or close escrow, proving that well-prepared, well-priced listings are attracting attention.
If you’ve been considering selling your home, now is an excellent time to do so. Homes are still moving at healthy prices, and motivated buyers are eager to settle in before the new year. Staging your home, fine-tuning your pricing, and listing with a knowledgeable local Realtor can make all the difference in standing out this season.
With fewer competing listings during fall, your home has a chance to shine—and serious buyers are ready to make offers on standout properties.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, fall might just be your golden opportunity. With new listings appearing in Oakhurst, Bass Lake, and Coarsegold—and a few price changes creating fresh value—buyers can find great options without the intense competition of the spring and summer rush.
Interest rates remain manageable, and many sellers are showing flexibility this season. Whether you’re dreaming of a cabin near the lake, a family home close to schools, or acreage with mountain views, the current market is offering variety and value.
From the cool mountain breezes of Bass Lake to the community warmth of Oakhurst and the open spaces of Coarsegold, these areas offer something truly special. Here, you can enjoy nature’s beauty daily—fresh air, stunning sunsets, and a relaxed pace of life—all while being close to Yosemite National Park, local wineries, and welcoming small-town communities.
Life here isn’t just about buying a house—it’s about embracing a lifestyle that’s peaceful, inspiring, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re downsizing, investing, or purchasing your first home, the foothills are calling.
