Bass Lake remains one of the area’s most desirable destinations for homeownership. This week, we saw 1 active listing and 2 expired listings, reflecting ongoing interest and the importance of strategic pricing as we move deeper into fall. Although no closings were reported this week, the lakefront lifestyle continues to draw both vacation home seekers and investors preparing for the 2026 season. Bass Lake’s year-round beauty and recreational appeal make it a timeless draw for buyers looking for that perfect combination of tranquility and adventure.
Oakhurst continues to show consistency with 2 expired listings, 2 closed sales, and 1 price adjustment. These numbers highlight a market that remains strong and steady. The homes that are closing are those that are competitively priced and well-presented—proof that buyers are still very active in this scenic gateway to Yosemite. Sellers who take advantage of professional marketing and accurate pricing strategies are seeing results even as the market transitions into late fall.
Once again, Coarsegold leads with solid activity! With 2 active listings, 4 homes under contract, 2 expired listings, and 1 closed sale, this community continues to shine as one of the most vibrant markets in the region. The balance of new listings and pending contracts shows that buyer demand is alive and well, and homes in Coarsegold are continuing to move. Known for its spacious properties and rural elegance, Coarsegold remains a top choice for those seeking peaceful living with easy access to major highways and nearby amenities.
North Fork saw 1 active listing, 1 pending listing, and 1 expired listing, representing a healthy mix of ongoing activity and market adjustment. Buyers looking for privacy, outdoor space, and mountain charm continue to find North Fork appealing. Sellers here are well-positioned to capture attention from buyers eager for a foothill lifestyle with close proximity to Bass Lake and Yosemite.
Ahwahnee had a productive week as well, with 1 expired listing, 1 closed sale, and 1 price change. This indicates a steady pace and a promising environment for sellers who are adjusting pricing to meet market expectations. Buyers love Ahwahnee’s quiet beauty, larger lots, and welcoming community feel—making it a hidden gem for those seeking value and space just minutes from Oakhurst.
Wishon added fresh energy to the market with 2 active listings and 1 closed sale. This is a great sign for such a cozy and close-knit area. With limited inventory, each new listing here generates attention from buyers searching for something truly special.
Even as the year winds down, homes in Madera County are still selling—and selling well. The continued mix of active, pending, and closed listings demonstrates that serious buyers remain in the market. With fewer new homes entering the market in late fall, this is an excellent time for your property to stand out.
Strategic pricing, professional photography, and targeted marketing can make your listing the one buyers fall in love with. Remember, buyers shopping this time of year are often highly motivated—they want to find their dream home and close before the holidays or the start of the new year.
If you’ve been waiting for “the right moment” to list, this could be it. The fall and early winter months can bring the most qualified and serious buyers to your door.
Buyers, this is your chance to secure your foothill dream home before competition picks up again in the spring. With a good mix of available properties in Coarsegold, Bass Lake, Wishon, and Ahwahnee, and a few price adjustments sprinkled throughout, the market offers opportunities for every type of buyer—from first-timers to those seeking vacation or investment properties.
Many sellers are motivated as the year comes to a close, which could mean better negotiation opportunities and flexible terms for you. Plus, the stunning fall landscapes of the Sierra foothills make home shopping this time of year a truly enjoyable experience.
The communities surrounding Oakhurst, Coarsegold, Bass Lake, North Fork, and Ahwahnee continue to attract attention for their balance of affordability, natural beauty, and lifestyle quality. With the backdrop of Yosemite National Park, serene lakes, and peaceful small towns, it’s no wonder so many buyers are setting their sights here.
These foothill towns offer more than just houses—they offer a lifestyle: wide open spaces, starry nights, and communities where neighbors still wave hello. Whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize, or invest, these areas remain one of California’s best-kept real estate secrets.
The numbers this week prove that Madera County and its foothill communities remain active, resilient, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re preparing to list your home or start your search for the perfect property, having the right local expert on your side makes all the difference.
