Introduction
The most recent Paso Robles housing data shows a market that is tightening on inventory, active on the sales side, and holding strong on pricing, even as buyer behavior remains selective.
Here’s a closer look at how the numbers are shaping up — and what they mean in real terms.
🪧New Listings
December 2025: 28
December 2024: 29
November 2025: 45
YOY: –3.4%
What this means: New listings dropped sharply month-over-month and are slightly below last year’s level. This points to a meaningful slowdown in seller activity, likely driven by seasonality and hesitation around timing. Fewer new listings mean less fresh inventory entering the market, which can support pricing — especially for well-positioned homes.
. 📈Active Listings
December 2025: 133
December 2024: 144
November 2025: 164
YOY: -7.6%
What this means: Active inventory declined from last month and is now below last year’s level. This suggests that homes are being absorbed faster than they’re being replaced, tightening overall supply. Buyers have fewer options than they did just a month ago, which can increase competition in certain price ranges.
✅ Sales
December 2025: 57
December 2024: 28
November 2025: 44
YOY: +103.6%
What this means: Closed sales jumped both month-over-month and year-over-year, showing excellent follow-through in the market. This confirms that buyers who enter escrow are moving forward to close, and that transactions negotiated earlier are completing successfully. Sales volume remains healthy.
🏡Months of Supply
December 2025: 3.0
December 2024: 3.7
November 2025: 3.8
YOY: -18.9%
What this means: Months of supply dropped meaningfully, moving the market closer to seller-leaning territory. Fewer homes available relative to buyer demand can create upward pressure on prices, especially in desirable neighborhoods and price points.
Median Days Active
December 2025: 27
December 2024: 24
November 2025: 47
YOY: +12.5%
What this means: The median days on market dropped noticeably from last month, meaning the typical home is selling faster than it did recently. However, the average remains elevated at 56 days active on MLS, suggesting that while well-priced homes are moving, some listings are still lingering and pulling the average higher. Buyers are selective — speed depends heavily on pricing and presentation.
Median Home Prices
December 2025: $773,500
December 2024: $769,500
November 2025: $754,500
YOY: +0.5%
What this means: Median pricing edged up month-over-month and remains slightly above last year, signaling stable core pricing. The average price at $880,295 pulled back from last month’s unusually high $951,619 figure, which was likely influenced by a few higher-end sales. Overall, prices remain strong without showing signs of volatility.
📌 Bottom Line
Paso Robles has shifted into a more constrained, steady market — not overheated, but no longer loose. With inventory tightening and sales activity remaining strong, strategy matters more than ever on both sides of the transaction.
