The Madera County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Madera County held steady at a median of $438,823 in May 2026, within 0.7% of a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $470,000, and sold for a median of $245 per square foot. The average sale closed at 98.9% of asking price, and 33% of homes sold above list.
There were 528 homes for sale at the end of May, down 18% from a year earlier, or 5.2 months of supply, close to balanced. The typical home that sold had been listed for 67 days, 17 days longer than a year earlier. 29% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 15% fewer homes and sales were down 22%.
24% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (4.1 points fewer than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means owners who price well still sell on their own, while those who overprice start to sit, and they are the ones most open to help. The trend to watch: fewer homes for sale than a year ago and slower sales than last year.

When Madera County homeowners list
Listings follow a clear seasonal cycle in Madera County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in January and May, with January running about 23% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 44% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 43 days), and those that sold in January the most (about 73 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by December, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around January, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Madera County FSBO leads
- Use the 67-day mark. Half of the Madera County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 67 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Bring the numbers. On a $438,823 home, each 1% of commission is about $4,388, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into January and May, when the most Madera County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Check the price per square foot. Madera County homes sold for a median $245 per square foot in May 2026; an FSBO asking well above that is a candidate for a pricing conversation.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Madera County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
