T
he landscape of real estate today look increasing diversified as new, tech-driven companies are entering the market and offering additional services to home sellers and buyers. Now, there are multiple real estate tech players—some similar, some distinct— offering something that generally hadn’t been available in real estate before: a direct sale and simplified purchase.
estate tech impact that is taking shape nationwide. OPERATING IN LIMITED MARKETS
Though this tends to be a big news topic to industry professionals and active home sellers and buyers, the reality is that iBuying companies are currently operating within a limited number of markets around the country and now command a relatively small portion of market share within those areas of the country. Last year, iBuyers accounted for less than 1% of home trans-actions These PropTech companies— in the United States. The reason such a referred to as iBuyers due to their relatively small-impacting move-ment specialties in near on-demand, is getting so much attention, how-ever, tech-enabled home buying—are is because the real estate industry has known for leveraging modern never experienced this kind of shift tech and connectivity to buy and before—the technological upgrade sell homes. These companies have many industries have already received. launched with significant public Many anticipate that this express awareness over the past five years; version of home selling will continue to as they grow in volume and their increase significantly in popularity and footprint in the industry widens, value to consumers over the coming their offerings continue to mature beyond the novelty they introduced years. Most consumers are buying or selling consumers to direct home buying where iBuying capabilities are not for ease and convenience. yet available. But maybe the topic is gaining disproportionate traction A testament to their success, even industry-leading organizations like beyond the number of consumers they currently serve because it has the Kelle rWilliams, are joining the potential to scale and secure a more movement. Consumers, investors, like-minded companies, and others significant share of the national market. The demand for the iBuyer solution is are taking notice and starting to proliferating. It’s already changing the get involved to leverage the real
way homes are sold and purchased– even among traditional organizations. PHOENIX IS iBUYER HOTSPOT All the major players in this niche currently share the same 20 metro areas in the United States, where the iBuyer option is available today. Of those markets, Phoenix has become known as the iBuyer hot spot. It is where iBuying began five years ago, and where consumers are most aware of this option. More than 5% of home transactions in 2018 were conducted by iBuyer companies there. Phoenix’s housing market could also be contributing to the greater iBuyer market share in the metro, as well as the type of buyer in the area, and many other factors. If time alone is the crucial element, we can expect other iBuyer markets to reach this level of popularity within the next few years. Consumers may wonder why these companies are all competinvg in the same markets, while the majority of home sellers and buyers nationwide do not yet have them as an option. As the iBuyer niche is still being refined, these organizations tend to find that specific markets are best for their services and optimized capabilities. To be Continued.. Pg.10 PAGE | 4 4 DAOR
New laws Courtside Real Estate Newsletter
The California legislature passed a series of new laws which Real Estate Broker and Agents should be aware of as the industry moves into the new-year. While a majority of the laws go into effect on January 1, 2020, some laws became active as recently as September 2019. Thus, it will be important to quickly assess your practices to determine if you are complying with the new laws. Administrative regulations are sure to follow. These laws are briefly addressed here for purposes of providing an overview of some of the important laws for the coming year. AB 1482 Rent Control As many know, California recently passed one of the most restrictive state-wide rent control laws in the nation. The purpose of the law is to provide additional protections for tenants through the limitation of rent increases and through the enactment of just cause evictions, subject to exceptions. Importantly, the rent control caps are retroactive to March 15, 2019. Thus, property managers, owners, and Sublessors should independently research or contact legal counsel to determine the status of their property and applicability of rent control. AB 5 Independent Contractors While AB 5 started out as a potential hurdle for the real estate community, PAGE | 5 5 DAOR
the codification of Dynamex ended in victory thanks to C.A.R. lobbying efforts, as the legislature carved out specific exceptions for real estate licensees, permitting them to selfdesignate as independent contractors under the provisions of the Business & Professions Code. Significantly, brokers under AB 5 are also provided with some clarity regarding the limits of their control in exercising their supervisory duties over licensees. Similar to the acts taken after the Dynamex holding, brokers will want to ensure that their licensees’ contracts comply with the Business & Professions Code. Although the law provides some positive news for the real estate community, it also establishes that, by default, administrative and non-licensed workers are employees. Thus, it will be important to assess the status of administrative non-licensees as well when entering into the new-year. AB 68, 670, 881 Accessory Dwelling Units In furtherance of the California legislature’s attempts to combat the housing crisis, the legislature passed AB 68, 670, and 881 to address Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADU”). Under the combination of bills, cities, subject to exceptions, must approve ADU applications, cannot require the owner to live on the property, cannot charge impact fees, and cannot prevent the concurrent development of an ADU at
the same time as the primary unit. Similarly, the bills prevent Home Owners Associations (HOA’s) from preventing or disallowing the construction of ADUs within the Association. While these laws are subject to exceptions, cities and HOAs are effectively given the obligation to permit ADUs, including some garage conversions. If a client is considering adding an ADU, agents will want to assess the local ordinance, HOA rules, fire setbacks, and advise the client to seek legal counsel to ensure the building would otherwise comply with the law. AB 1110 Rent Notice Increases In the event that AB 1482 does not Vapply to a particular property, the newly enacted AB 1110 requires a 90 day notice if the landlord of a monthto-month tenancy increases the rent by more than 10% of the rent charge to the tenant annually. The new noticing requirements will be important for property managers to keep in mind as they move through 2020 and beyond, and only applies for rental properties exempt from AB 1482.

PHOENIX IS iBUYER HOTSPOT All the major players in this niche currently share the same 20 metro areas in the United States, where the iBuyer option is available today. Of those markets, Phoenix has become known as the iBuyer hot spot. It is where iBuying began five years ago, and where consumers are most aware of this option. More than 5% of home transactions in 2018 were conducted by iBuyer companies there. Phoenix’s housing market could also be contribu-ting to the greater iBuyer market share in the metro, as well as the type of buyer in the area, and many other factors. If time alone is the crucial element, we can expect other iBuyer markets to reach this level of popularity within the next few years. Consumers may wonder why these companies are all competing in the same markets, while the majority of home sellers and buyers nationwide do not yet have them as an option. As the iBuyer niche is still being refined, these organizations tend to find that specific markets are best for their services and optimized capabilities. ADVANCES IN iBUYING The iBuyer solution provides value to consumers when they can make competitive home offers quickly and efficiently. Algorithms, numerous data points, as well as real estate expertise, determine a
competitive offer. These home buyers issue competitive offers in as fast as 24 hours. When this technology was first developed, it was helpful that homes were in homogenous markets with little variety. Now that abilities in iBuying have expanded, the most successful businesses (now using local professional expertise to make home offers) can serve neighborhoods where homes are more diverse. Still, we see that the iBuyer offering is most heavily available in the southern parts of the country. Generally, where companies offer the instant cash offer, there is a substantial volume of newer home inventory—places where homes are bought and sold frequently. These home-buying companies tend to operate on small margins, so allocating resources in markets where they are likely to have high volume is imperative. A critical factor in the property purchase price for these companies is the data surrounding recent real estate activity in the area. It accounts for similar homes in the same neighborhood, as that information can be used in making competitive offers. Currently, most compa¬nies offering the iBuyer solution purchase singlefamily homes built after 1960 with common sizes and features that are on lots no larger than an acre. While the parameters may seem narrow, houses with these qualities represent the majority of homes people are buying and selling today. At least for now, the iBuyer solution is focused
on the most common properties to become available to as many people as possible in their markets. As this model and the capabilities of these companies have become more sophisticated, some are beginning to expand their product offerings to provide more for the general population of real estate consumers. iBUYER OPTION EXPANDING With the iBuyer option developing, and as participating companies continue to adapt and offer more of what consumers want, their footprints around the country will continue to grow. It’s only a matter of time before all home sellers and buyers have the option to use the innovative solutions from these real estate tech innovators, wherever they are, to enjoy more streamlined home sales and purchases that promise certainty and control.

AB 2343 Unlawful Detainer and Notice Periods Similar to AB 1110, AB 2343 is another noticing law for property managers. However, AB 2343 is already effective. In summary, AB 2343 changes the way the notice period is calculated for purposes of notice periods and unlawful detainers. In effort to protect the tenants from creative landlords, the legislature passed AB 2343 to exclude judicial holidays, such as Saturday and Sunday, from the calculations for purposes of three (3) day notices as it relates to unlawful detainers. SB 18 90 Day Notices The Senate bill acts to eliminate the previous sunset date of the notice law which requires tenants to be provided with at least 90 days’ notice before the termination of a tenancy if the property is foreclosed.
