Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Bakersfield currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a strong seller’s market. Very limited inventory helps create this balance, with only about two active listings in the latest rolling three-month period. Buyers have fewer options to choose from, which keeps well-priced homes in demand.
Looking at pricing, the rolling three-month median list price is roughly $276,630, down nearly 16% from a year ago. This year-over-year decline suggests sellers are adjusting expectations even as conditions still favor them. Inventory has tightened further, with active listings down about a third compared with last year, and new listings have fallen by a similar share, which helps explain why the market still tilts toward sellers.
Demand has held up reasonably well in spite of these changes. Pending sales in the latest three-month window are slightly higher than a year ago, showing that motivated buyers are still stepping in when the right home appears. Recent history also shows how quickly conditions can shift, from just one active listing at the end of 2024 to periods with more options earlier in 2025 and 2024. With such a small number of homes driving these statistics, both buyers and sellers in Bakersfield can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent to navigate this nuanced market.
Bakersfield offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation and convenient local services that support an active, fulfilling lifestyle.
Bakersfield feels distinctly rural compared with larger nearby hubs like St. Albans or Burlington. Here, dairy farms, dirt roads, and long views toward the Green Mountains still define daily life, and neighbors often know each other by name and by family.
The small village center is anchored by the Bakersfield Town Offices, the Goodrich Memorial Library in nearby Newport, and the local post office, creating a modest but genuine sense of place. Outdoor time is a way of life. Residents enjoy nearby Berkshire Town Park for walking and picnics, while larger trail networks and skiing are within easy reach of Jay Peak Resort. Families often connect through the Bakersfield Elementary School, youth sports, and town events.
Commuters appreciate that Bakersfield provides a quieter alternative to Milton or Essex, yet retail, healthcare, and employment are still accessible in Franklin County and the broader northwest region. Housing ranges from long-held farm properties to modest starter homes on back roads, and inventory can shift quickly with seasonal demand and limited stock.
Whether you are planning to list a long-time family property or hoping to secure a home before the next market swing, timing and preparation matter in a small community like Bakersfield. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands the area and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.

“Bill listened to every need and was very relatable to our needs. I found him to be genuine, and not pushy or just trying to get a sale. He made my first home buying experience less stressful than it could have been and was always on top of communication. I am grateful for his expertise and attention to details.”

Very greatful that we got linked to him he truly does have buyers best interest in mind at all times always there when you have a question.”
“Jonathan Price was wonderful! He explained everything as he guided me through the process of showing the house and the eventual sale. He arranged to have staging done and hired workers to do repairs which were mandated by the buyer's mortgage company. He immediately responded to every text I sent (and there were quite a few). His optimism was contagious and so comforting. Jonathan is so patient, thorough, and kind. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.”
“Suzanne assisted us through every step of the process of listing and selling of our home, we had lots of questions that she took the time to answer for us. We would strongly recommend her to friends and family.”
“Jeremiah, It was a joy and pleasure working with you. You made it fun light and easy. We have worked with realtors before and we really enjoyed you. You were not just professional, but personal, and I think that's what we loved the most about you is how personal you were and how involved you got. You listened and cared about every detail, our every need and want and brought that into a personal experience. Thank you so much for your time, your kindness, your loyalty, the laughs, helping us try to get a daughter-in-law, LOL, but most of all your personality, which Danny and I loved and enjoyed!! You are not just our realtor, but our friend and we thank you... Praying Gods blessings over you!”

We highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs, whether you are buying or selling!”
“Choosing to work with Tony on the purchase of our home is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. When you work with Tony Serrano, you can feel secure that you are working with someone that has the highest level of integrity and compassion out there. Also, you don't just get Tony backing you up, you get his team. He's surrounded by professionals who are there to take care of you. From the working with his lender and all the services providers you need to complete the sale and hire for repairs afterwards, Tony has you covered. After the purchase of my home, Tony provided me with some amazing people to prepare our home for our move in. Painters, electricians, plumbers, just to name a few. They all work with Tony and take care of me as a valued client just like Tony did throughout this entire experience. Tony is prompt, responsiveness and works tirelessly to make sure you get into our dream home. I know because we found ours. He'sthe best out there!”
“Caitlin was great both times we worked with her; she was always on top of her game no matter what! She always replied fast to questions or comments, not that there were many of those, given how hands-on she was in explaining everything. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process and had an answer for every question I sent her way. Not to mention how smooth she made the closing process, I thought that was going to be the biggest stressor, but she made it simpler than I thought possible for closing a house! I already absolutely recommend her to everyone I know and have no plans on changing that anytime soon!”
“Lucas was very good at keeping us informed on what's going on with the sale of our home. He also answered questions, text messages or phone calls soon after I reached out to him. I felt he was very knowledgeable and did a terrific job in selling our property.”
“Shelley knows her stuff and is so helpful at explaining every step of the process. She gave sound advice and worked to get us internet at the house when there was a hiccup with the internet company. She called and got us set up with a temporary solution and petitioned for them to come earlier than they initially said. Additionally, she and Jim are just very kind people and a joy to work with. We can't recommend them enough.”
“Alex was great! We would definitely use him again if we were ever to buy in the area again. He does what it takes to to get the house sold. Alex makes sure that he is available to you for any questions or concerns that you may have. I will definitely recommend Alex to family and friends”
“We have worked with Kelli since we moved to Fairbanks 12 years ago. I have and will continue to recommend her and her team to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their property. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and fair. It was a great experience to have her as our agent!”
“Erys goes above and beyond. 2 closings in 2 months she is great!”
“Lisa is so kind and considerate. She is someone we always felt was on our side and cared about helping us find the right house. She is thourough and honest and has so many connections to other helpful people from inspectors to mortgage lenders. She has real opinions but also keeps things positive, which is so helpful when so many things are needed to be considered when buying a house. Lisa has helped us sell a house and now buy a house and I would strongly recommend her to everyone.”
