List of housing killers and housing creators unveiled
bonds issued for that purpose.
• AB 712 (Wicks): Establishes minimum uniform, consistent, transparent, fair, and e ective standards for holding public agencies accountable when a court nds they have violated housing reform laws. Speci cally, AB 712 ensures that if a housing development applicant sues a public agency to enforce these laws and wins the case, they are entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs.
• AB 782 (Quirk-Silva): Eliminates unnecessary costs and delays to housing production by prohibiting local governments from requiring duplicative bonding or other nancial assurances related to subdivision improvements that will be privately owned and maintained.
• AB 1007 (Rubio): Expedites the approval of housing by shortening the time frame for state and regional agencies to approve or disapprove applications for housing development projects for which they are a responsible agency, but not the lead agency.
• AB 1276 (Carrillo): Provides greater certainty for housing developers by ensuring that the regulations and requirements set by state and regional agencies are xed at the time a project application is submitted. It also requires these agencies to apply a “reasonable person” standard when determining whether a proposed housing project aligns with relevant regulatory plans.
• SB 489 (Arreguín): Plugs gaps in the permitting process by requiring state and regional agencies to post their application requirements online, and by ensuring that all decisions are either covered by the “shot clocks” included in the Permit Streamlining Act or post-entitlement permit statutes.
2025 Housing Killers legislation
• AB 52 (Aguiar-Curry): Substantially broadens the California Environmental Quality Act consultation process with California Native American tribes. However, it does so in a way that could create an inde nite CEQA review cycle, leaving projects without certainty — even a er environmental documents are certi ed and all necessary permits have been approved. Moreover, AB 52 could require projects to be permanently halted even a er construction has begun. This approach overlooks the comprehensive tribal consultation
process already built into the early stages of project planning, which is speci cally designed to surface and address these critical issues upfront — helping to prevent delays and ensure timely delivery of much-needed housing for California families.
• AB 902 (Schultz): Requires metropolitan planning agencies to duplicate work that has already been done to establish new habitat corridors that would become an obstacle to development and transportation projects. This would drive up costs and add regulatory burdens to housing production by layering duplicate requirements onto regional transportation planning and development e orts aimed at mitigating barriers to wildlife movement.
• AB 1157 (Kalra): Poses a signi cant barrier to the development of new rental housing by making California’s existing rent control laws even more restrictive. AB 1157, among other provisions, extends rent control to single-family homes and condominiums owned by individuals and families — many of whom are already struggling with rising costs for maintenance, insurance, and utilities. In a market already challenged by high interest rates, tari s and soaring construction costs, this bill further discourages both private and institutional investment, ultimately leading to fewer homes being built for California’s
“Homeowners undertake remodeling projects for numerous reasons, but what remains intriguing is the disparity between the joy experienced post-remodel and the actual cost recovery,” said Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research. “While homeowners take pride in seeing their personal tastes and design choices come to life, Realtors may recommend di erent strategies to enhance the property’s resale value.”
The top remodeling projects that Realtors recommend sellers complete before listing their homes include painting the entire home (50%), painting a single interior room (41%) and installing new roo ng (37%). Additionally, the projects for which Realtors have observed the highest increase in demand are a kitchen upgrade (48%), new roo ng (43%) and a bathroom renovation (35%).
When consumers remodel their homes, the primary reasons include upgrading worn-out surfaces, nishes and materials (27%); improving energy e ciency (19%);
families.
• SB 601 (Allen): Exacerbates California’s housing crisis by imposing burdensome new water quality regulations on housing projects and introducing a broad private right of action that would allow anyone to sue homebuilders — potentially recovering attorney’s fees and triggering signi cantly higher penalties. While proponents argue that SB 601 is needed in response to a U.S. Supreme Court decision limiting federal regulations, the bill as written goes far beyond what federal law previously required. Moreover, SB 601 eliminates a critical safeguard that requires regional water boards and the State Water Resources Control Board to consider economic impacts, housing needs, recycled water use, and feasibility when issuing discharge requirements or permits. This safeguard was originally enacted to ensure housing considerations were integrated into water regulation decisions.
• SB 682 (Allen): Grants the Department of Toxic Substances Control unchecked authority to determine which building products can be used in housing construction, imposing sweeping and arbitrary restrictions that would severely disrupt homebuilding across California. By banning essential materials — from heat pumps to electrical cabling — SB 682 drives up housing costs, jeopardizes
desiring a change (18%) and preparing to sell within the next two years (18%).
“This report demonstrates that demand for remodeling remains robust, with 42% of NARI members experiencing an increase in contracting projects and 57% observing larger project scopes over the past two years,” said NARI President Jason Hensler. “Homeowners are discovering signi cant value and joy in these investments — from smaller upgrades, such as front doors and windows, to major renovations like kitchens and primary suites.”
While housing a ordability and rising mortgage rates have been considered potential motivators for home remodeling, most consumers (89%) reported that housing a ordability was not a deciding factor in their decisions to remodel. However, for a smaller segment of consumers (9%), housing a ordability did serve as a motivating factor for undertaking remodeling projects.

About the California Building Industry Association
CBIA supports “Housing for All.” CBIA members build housing across the a ordability spectrum to meet the needs of all Californians, including urban in ll, multi-family units, condos, apartments, single-family homes, accessory dwelling units and master planned communities. CBIA is dedicated to expanding California’s housing supply using the latest re safety science, modern building codes, and advanced construction techniques to create safer, more energye cient homes and communities while working with policymakers to reduce barriers that slow and increase costs for home production.
CBIA is a statewide trade association based in Sacramento representing thousands of member companies including homebuilders, trade contractors, architects, engineers, designers, suppliers and industry professionals in the homebuilding, multifamily and mixed-use development markets. CBIA members build nearly nine out of 10 new housing units built in California, including charity homes, legally de ned a ordable housing, middle-class market-rate housing and luxury homes.
To nance their remodeling projects, consumers primarily relied on home equity loans or lines of credit (54%), savings (29%) and credit cards (10%).
“Interestingly, despite the lock-in e ect — where low-interest-rate mortgages discourage homeowners from moving — housing a ordability isn’t a signi cant reason why consumers choose to remodel their homes,” added Lautz. “Instead, the substantial housing equity that homeowners have built up over time enables them to invest in transforming their homes while they remain in place.”
Homeowners report that the most important outcomes from remodeling projects are improved functionality and livability (28%); durable and long-lasting results, materials and appliances (23%); and enhanced beauty and aesthetics (23%). Following their remodeling projects, 64% of homeowners expressed a greater desire to be in their homes, while 46% reported increased enjoyment of their living spaces.
If cost were not a factor, 92% of consumers indicated they would choose to remodel additional areas of their homes.
