The North San Luis Obispo County real estate market continued its gradual transition toward a more balanced market in June 2026. While home sales slowed compared to last year, inventory continued to grow.

A total of 28 homes sold in Atascadero, representing an 18% decrease from June 2025. Paso Robles recorded 46 home sales, down 19% year over year, while Templeton saw 12 homes sold, a 9% increase compared to the same time last year.

Home prices showed mixed results across the region. Atascadero's median sales price increased to $880,000, a 12% gain, demonstrating continued strength in the local market. In Paso Robles, the median sales price was $652,500, a 15% decrease, while Templeton's median sales price came in at $905,000, down just 1% from a year ago.

Homes are continuing to spend a little longer on the market as inventory rises. The median days on market reached 24 days in both Atascadero and Paso Robles, increases of 60% and 33%, respectively. Templeton reported a median of 18 days, which was 14% lower than last year.

Inventory also continued its upward trend throughout North County, creating more opportunities for buyers. Currently, there are 53 active listings in Atascadero, 174 in Paso Robles, and 38 in Templeton. Even with more homes available, sellers are still achieving excellent results. Homes sold for an average of 99% of their asking price in both Atascadero and Paso Robles, while Templeton sellers received 98%.

Buyers are benefiting from increased inventory and a little more time to make purchasing decisions, while sellers continue to see strong results. As the market continues to normalize, both buyers and sellers have opportunities to achieve their goals with the right strategy and local market expertise.
