Local data
A note on the numbers: typical-value measures, sale-side medians, and listing-side figures are each calculated differently, and the gap between Madera's median sale price and median list price is wider than in Fresno or Clovis. The consistent thread through October 2026 is a steady market with a slower pace: typical values are flat while sale-side readings range from about $385,000 to $420,000 depending on source and window, and homes take about two months to sell on average.
Reading the market ★ What it means
Steady values, patient buyers
Madera marches to its own cadence on the Highway 99 corridor. Here is what the October 2026 numbers mean for buyers and sellers.
Typical home values in Madera sit around $381,000 per Zillow, flat year over year, while median sale readings run from about $385,000 on Resideline's six-month window to around $420,000 on Redfin's latest city header. The spread between those tells you the range a Madera sale can land in, depending on the home, the source, and the pocket.
The pace is the other half of the story. With about 55 days on market per Redfin, Madera buyers take their time and compare carefully, and the county median list price near $485,000 per FRED/Realtor.com shows sellers are often reaching above where sales end up settling. That gap is a negotiation signal: list prices stretch, final numbers come in lower, and a home that is priced realistically stands out.
For buyers, Madera continues to deliver more house, more lot, and more proximity to the foothills for the money than central Fresno. For sellers, the path is familiar: price against recent Madera sales, present the home at its best, and market to the wider Fresno-area buyer pool, because many of your buyers will be commuting in from the valley's bigger cities.

Madera by ZIP ★ Ballpark estimates
Two ZIPs, two different stories
Madera's citywide number hides a real split between its two ZIP codes. These figures are estimates compiled from public sources such as Zillow, Redfin, and RealtyTrac in October 2026, and they vary by source and month.
Ballpark typical value: ~$405,000
The higher-value half of Madera, with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer development. Zillow puts the typical value around $405,414, up about 2.4% year over year, while third-party sale readings run lower near the $365s. Ranges vary by pocket.
Estimate from public sources · Data varies
Ballpark median sale: ~$380,000
A large ZIP where the data swings the most. Redfin’s median sale price ran about $380,000 in February 2026, down about 4% year over year, while Zillow’s listing-based median reads near $326,000. Homebuyers should treat any single number here as a starting point, not a verdict.
Estimate from public sources · Data varies
Madera's ZIP data swings more than Fresno's or Clovis's because the sales volume is thinner and the housing stock is more varied. The most reliable number for your home is built from the actual sales on your street, and that is a free fifteen-minute conversation with us.
