One of the most encouraging takeaways is the amount of inventory available to buyers. The report shows 23 active listings, giving buyers a variety of opportunities to explore. At the same time, 13 properties are active under contract or pending, showing that buyers continue to make decisions and move forward when they find a property that fits their needs.
The report also shows 9 closed listings, representing completed transactions during the week.

Across the communities included in the report, the September 28–October 4 market update recorded:
These numbers provide an interesting snapshot of the market as we move from September into October.
The 23 active listings are especially positive for buyers because they represent current opportunities. Meanwhile, the 13 pending properties demonstrate that buyers are actively pursuing homes throughout the area.
The 9 closed listings also show that transactions are successfully reaching the finish line.
Every community has its own pace and characteristics, so looking at the local numbers rather than relying on broad market assumptions can help buyers and sellers make better-informed decisions.
Coarsegold recorded 6 active listings, 3 pending listings, 3 expired listings, 3 closed listings, 7 price changes, and 1 canceled/withdrawn listing this week.
With 6 active properties currently reported, Coarsegold has one of the strongest selections of available inventory in this week's report.
For buyers, that means there are multiple properties to compare. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, a property with additional space, a mountain retreat, or an investment opportunity, having several choices can make the search more flexible.
The 3 pending listings and 3 closed listings also demonstrate movement within the community.
The 7 price changes are another reason buyers should continue watching the market. A property that didn't quite fit your budget or criteria when you first saw it may become more appealing after a change in price.
For homeowners considering selling in Coarsegold, the activity shows that buyers are paying attention to the area. A well-priced property supported by professional photography, effective marketing, and a clear presentation can help capture that attention.
North Fork also stands out this week with 6 active listings, 2 pending listings, 1 expired listing, 3 closed listings, 1 price change, and 1 canceled/withdrawn listing.
The 6 active listings give buyers a good selection to explore, while the 2 pending and 3 closed listings demonstrate that properties are moving through different stages of the transaction process.
For buyers looking for a quieter, more rural lifestyle, North Fork can offer opportunities that may not be available in more populated communities.
The area can appeal to those looking for privacy, space, mountain surroundings, and access to outdoor recreation.
For sellers, the combination of active, pending, and closed activity provides useful information about the local market. If you're thinking about selling, understanding the properties competing for buyer attention can help you determine how to position your home.
Oakhurst recorded 4 active listings, 4 pending listings, 5 expired listings, 2 closed listings, and no price changes or canceled/withdrawn listings this week.
The balance between 4 active and 4 pending properties is encouraging. Buyers have opportunities to explore, while other properties are already progressing toward closing.
The 2 closed listings also demonstrate completed transactions in the community.
Oakhurst remains an attractive option for buyers who want a mountain lifestyle while being close to local shopping, restaurants, services, recreation, and neighboring communities.
If you're considering buying in Oakhurst, staying informed about new listings and pending activity can help you recognize opportunities as they appear.
For sellers, having four active properties competing for attention means presentation and positioning are important. A strong listing should clearly communicate the property's features, location, lifestyle benefits, and value to prospective buyers.
Bass Lake recorded 3 active listings, 2 pending listings, 3 expired listings, and 2 canceled/withdrawn listings.
Although there were no closed listings or price changes reported for Bass Lake during this particular week, the 3 active and 2 pending properties show that there is still activity in the community.
For buyers, three active listings provide opportunities to explore what is currently available. The two pending properties also indicate that buyers are pursuing homes in the area.
Bass Lake continues to offer a unique lifestyle for those interested in lake recreation, mountain living, vacation properties, second homes, and investment opportunities.
For sellers, Bass Lake properties can attract buyers who aren't simply looking for a house—they are often looking for a lifestyle. Features such as proximity to the lake, outdoor living areas, views, recreational opportunities, private docks when applicable, and vacation potential can all be important parts of a property's story.
Ahwahnee recorded 1 pending listing, 1 expired listing, and 2 canceled/withdrawn listings this week, with no active listings reported.
The pending property demonstrates that there is still movement in the community, even when current inventory is limited.
Limited weekly inventory can actually make it particularly important for buyers to stay connected to the market. A property that meets a buyer's needs may not remain available for long, and new opportunities can appear from week to week.
For sellers in Ahwahnee, limited active inventory may also make it worthwhile to have a conversation about the current market and what buyers are looking for.
Several of the smaller mountain communities also recorded activity.
Fish Camp had 1 expired listing, while Wawona recorded 1 active listing.
For buyers interested in Wawona, the single active listing represents a current opportunity to explore a property in a highly desirable mountain setting.
Yosemite also recorded 1 active listing and 1 expired listing, giving buyers another reason to monitor available inventory in the area.
Wishon had 2 active listings and 1 closed listing, showing both available inventory and completed activity.
These communities often have smaller amounts of inventory compared with larger areas, so buyers interested in these locations may benefit from monitoring the market regularly.
Raymond recorded 1 pending listing this week.
Although the report shows limited activity for Raymond during this particular period, a pending property demonstrates that buyers are still making moves in the community.
For buyers who are open to a more rural lifestyle, Raymond can be worth exploring as part of a broader Madera County property search.
Sometimes expanding the search area slightly can open the door to properties with more land, privacy, or other features that may be difficult to find in more competitive locations.
With 23 active listings across the communities in this report, buyers have plenty of reasons to remain engaged.
Real estate searches often take time. The perfect property may not be available on the first day you begin looking. Inventory changes, properties go under contract, new listings appear, and sellers sometimes adjust their strategies.
This week's 13 pending listings also show that buyers are taking action.
If you're thinking about purchasing, some helpful steps include:
Whether you're searching for a first home, vacation property, investment, land, or mountain retreat, keeping an open mind about different communities can help you discover opportunities you might otherwise overlook.
The numbers are also encouraging for homeowners who are considering selling.
This week, 13 properties were reported as active under contract or pending, while 9 properties closed.
That means buyers are continuing to make offers and transactions are being completed.
For sellers, the goal is to make sure your property stands out among the homes currently competing for buyer attention.
Pricing is only one part of the equation. Professional photography, compelling property descriptions, online exposure, presentation, accessibility for showings, and highlighting the features that make your home special can all contribute to a strong marketing strategy.
Before listing, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) can help you understand how your property compares with similar homes currently available and recently sold.
The best pricing strategy should be based on your property's unique characteristics and current local competition.
One of the greatest advantages of the Madera County and surrounding mountain real estate market is the variety of communities available.
From the lake lifestyle of Bass Lake, to the established communities of Oakhurst and Coarsegold, to the rural beauty of North Fork and Raymond, buyers have many different environments to consider.
For those looking for a true mountain experience, communities such as Ahwahnee, Fish Camp, Wawona, Yosemite, and Wishon offer their own unique character and lifestyle opportunities.
Whether you're looking for a quiet place to call home, a weekend getaway, a vacation rental, an investment property, or a place with room to enjoy the outdoors, there are many possibilities throughout the region.
The September 28–October 4, 2026 Weekly Market Update gives buyers and sellers plenty to be encouraged about.
With 23 active listings, 13 pending properties, and 9 closed transactions, there is meaningful activity taking place across Madera County and the surrounding mountain communities.

The market is constantly changing, and the best opportunity for one person may be very different from the best opportunity for another. That's why having a local professional who understands the communities and the individual property can make such a difference.
