Templeton
A small unincorporated town between Atascadero and Paso Robles, about 25 miles north of San Luis Obispo, with a historic Main Street and wine country all around. The County handles planning; the Templeton Community Services District provides water, sewer and fire service.
Home market
Sales for September 2026; homes for sale as of October 18, 2026. Community-wide figures from Redfin, all home types.
Templeton has few sales a month, so its median price can swing sharply. Read the 21.4% year-over-year drop as a rough guide, not a measure of how far home values fell.
Monthly figures for a small community swing with just a few sales, so compare several months before drawing conclusions. Countywide trends are on the market data page; local loan limits and a payment calculator are on Loans & rates.
