Introduction
If you’ve been following the Paso Robles market this year, November brought a noticeable seasonal slowdown, along with a few important shifts in buyer activity and pricing.
Here’s a clear, data-driven look at how the month played out — and what it means as we head into the winter season.
🪧New Listings
November 2025: 36
November 2024: 44
October 2025: 53
YOY: –18.2%
What this means: New inventory tightened significantly this month, both year-over-year and compared to October. This is typical for late fall as many sellers wait until after the holidays, but it also means buyers had fewer fresh options to choose from.
. 📈Active Listings
November 2025: 166
November 2024: 151
October 2025: 177
YOY: +9.9%
What this means: Even though fewer new listings came on the market, total inventory remains higher than last year. This reflects a slower pace of sales and longer days on market. The slight dip from October aligns with seasonal patterns as sellers withdraw or delay listings for the holidays.
✅ Sales
November 2025: 44
November 2024: 33
October 2025: 37
YOY: +33.3%
What this means: Despite slower new escrows, closings remained strong. This uptick reflects contracts written earlier in the fall that successfully closed in November. It shows that committed buyers are still moving forward even in a slower season.
🏡Months of Supply
November 2025: 4.0
November 2024: 3.9
October 2025: 4.2
YOY: +2.6%
What this means: Months of supply remains in a balanced zone, neither strongly favoring buyers nor sellers. The slight increase from last year reflects the slower pace of the fall market, while the small decrease from October aligns with the holiday listing slowdown.
Median Days Active
November 2025: 47 days
November 2024: 10
October 2025: 24
YOY: +370%
What this means: Homes are taking much longer to sell compared to last year — and significantly longer than just one month ago. Buyers aren’t rushing, they’re being more selective, and many are negotiating more aggressively. For sellers, this shift makes pricing and presentation more important than ever.
Median Home Prices
November 2025: $754,500
November 2024: $680,000
October 2025: $712,500
YOY: +11.0%
What this means:
Prices remain resilient. The median price climbed nicely year-over-year and month-over-month. Despite slower buyer activity, quality homes are still commanding strong prices.
📌 Bottom Line
The Paso Robles market in November 2025 is showing clear signs of seasonal cooling, but a stronger underlying foundation than last year.
Buyers have more inventory than a year ago, more time to make decisions, and far less competition.
Sellers face longer days on market and fewer new buyers entering the market, but prices remain healthy — especially for homes that show well.
The market continues to move at a steady, deliberate pace, with well-priced homes still selling.
