Real Estate in Cambria has seen its shares of ups and downs but for the most part has been one of the more stable real estate markets in San Luis Obispo County. Cambria homes are generally the first to go up in price and the last to come down.

Cambria’s home buyers are generally retirees looking to get away from the big city or second home buyers looking for a place to vacation part time. Generally this is not a first time home buyers market as the cost of living is high, home prices are high, and the economy does not support first time home buyers.
