ABOUT THE EVENT
As housing costs continue to rise across California, entry-level homeownership has become increasingly difficult to attain — particularly for first-time buyers seeking a realistic path into the market. Join the Center for California Real Estate (CCRE) on Tuesday, April 28 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento for a discussion examining which pathways to ownership remain viable in today’s housing environment.
This panel, titled Rebuilding the California Dream: Pathways to Entry-Level Homeownership, will explore the current state of entry-level homeownership and the structural, financial, and regulatory factors shaping access to ownership. Bringing together developers, academics, and state housing leaders, panelists will discuss how development economics, financing standards, and regulatory frameworks affect the feasibility of producing lower-cost ownership opportunities, including smaller-scale models such as condominiums and townhomes, and identify practical solutions to expand homeownership.
