2017 Econ Panel: What is the
Next Housing Supply Story in California? Supply shortage has been an ongoing issue for the California housing market in the last few years, and the problem has gotten worse as active listings started deteriorating at a faster pace since the beginning of 2017. What are the causes for this crisis and is there anything we can do to improve the tight inventory conditions? To help answer these questions and explore the topic further, the Research and Economics team invite members to join them at the econ panel session this year in San Diego. During the session, the team will discuss with four top economists/researchers on the declining trend of active listings on the market, the high costs of building, the difficulties in building high density units, and how all these affect housing affordability and homeownership in California. |
