The real estate market across Madera County and its surrounding foothill communities continues to thrive as we move into the heart of September. This week’s CRMLS Market Update Report (09/15/2025–09/21/2025) shows a steady flow of new listings, pending sales, closed transactions, and even price adjustments—painting a picture of a market full of opportunity for both buyers and sellers.
While many markets across the state are slowing down, the Sierra foothill region is holding strong. Buyers are actively searching, sellers are closing deals, and the overall pace of activity continues to show confidence and stability in our local housing market.

One of the highlights this week is the arrival of new active listings in Oakhurst, Coarsegold, and Yosemite. Each of these areas offers something unique:
Oakhurst remains one of the most popular destinations thanks to its convenient location, small-town charm, and proximity to Yosemite National Park. With new homes now on the market, buyers have the chance to secure property in an area where inventory is always in demand.
Coarsegold is shining brightly this week with multiple new listings, adding to its reputation as a community that blends rural living with quick access to larger city amenities.
Yosemite also entered the spotlight with a new active listing, giving buyers the rare chance to own property in one of California’s most iconic and breathtaking regions.
For buyers, these fresh listings represent new choices and opportunities—whether you’re seeking a cozy mountain retreat, a family-friendly home, or an investment property in a high-demand area.
Coarsegold truly stood out this week with 3 closed sales—the most in the region. This level of activity proves two things:
Buyer demand is strong—homes are not just sitting on the market; they are selling.
Sellers are finding success—with the right pricing and presentation, homes are moving, and sellers are seeing results.
Closings are the clearest sign of market health, and Coarsegold’s strong performance this week is a positive signal for anyone considering selling their home in the near future.
Another encouraging trend is the number of homes that went under contract this week. Oakhurst, Coarsegold, North Fork, and Ahwahnee all saw buyers step forward with offers.
This tells us that buyers are confident, motivated, and ready to make commitments despite broader market shifts we’ve seen elsewhere. When multiple communities report pending sales in the same week, it highlights how widespread the demand is across the foothills—not just in one concentrated area.
For sellers, this is excellent news. It means that well-priced, well-marketed homes are continuing to attract attention and secure offers.
This week also recorded price changes in Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Coarsegold, North Fork, and Ahwahnee. Price adjustments are not a negative—they are a tool that benefits everyone:
For buyers, these updates open the door to greater affordability and opportunities to secure a home at a better value.
For sellers, adjusting the price can breathe new life into a listing, attracting fresh interest and helping the home stand out in a competitive market.
In fact, many of the homes that closed or went pending this week had likely adjusted their pricing strategy to meet the market—and clearly, it worked.
When you combine new inventory, strong closing numbers, pending contracts, and buyer-friendly price adjustments, the result is a market that is both active and balanced.
For Buyers: This is a golden moment to step into the market. With new listings available and price changes giving you added value, you have more choices and negotiating power than ever before. Don’t wait too long—when the right property comes along, buyers are acting quickly, as seen in Coarsegold’s three closings this week.
For Sellers: If you’ve been considering listing your home, the data proves that now is the time. Buyers are out there touring homes, writing offers, and closing deals. By preparing your property and pricing it competitively, you can take advantage of this steady stream of demand.
As we move into the fall season, the Madera County foothill communities become even more attractive. Cooler weather, stunning autumn scenery, and the anticipation of the holiday season make this an ideal time for buyers to settle into a new home and for sellers to capture attention while the market is still active.
From Oakhurst’s bustling town center to Coarsegold’s peaceful countryside, from North Fork’s scenic charm to Yosemite’s unmatched beauty, each community offers something special. And this week’s report shows that buyers are noticing—and taking action.
The bottom line: The market in Madera County and surrounding areas is healthy, active, and full of opportunity. If you’re ready to buy or sell, now is the perfect time to make your move.
