The San Luis Obispo County real estate market held a steady pace through July, with the median sold price climbing just over 3% year-over-year to land at $870,000.

While active listings dipped slightly from June to 1,143, buyer activity also cooled, with 231 homes going into contract or closing escrow, representing a 6% drop month-over-month.

On average, homes are spending 40 days on the market, though the median days on market is just 19—and about 30% of properties are still selling above list price, particularly those that are well-maintained, move-in ready, and priced right.

Inventory by bedroom count remained consistent overall, with one-bedroom homes seeing a small uptick in availability.

August 2025 Forecast

Looking ahead, we expect the market to maintain this steady pace. With mortgage rates near 6.5%, price sensitivity remains high. Inventory may see a small late-summer boost, and buyers are expected to remain active—but selective.

Homes that show well and are priced realistically should continue to move within 30 to 45 days.
