Aug 2017: California 5.1%
1. Economy relatively healthy
2. Deregulation: industry & banks1. General regulatory environment
2. CFPB & Dodd-Frank
3. Infrastructure investment?
4. Tax cuts on business & people1. 3 brackets, lower rates
2. More than half corporate rate
5. Tax reform: repatriating profits
6. Better trade terms?
1. Mortgage interest deduction?1. Double Standard Deduction
2. Limit MID to $500K?
2. GSEs and the FHA/HUD
3. Healthcare & Immigration1. Demand, but also Fed $$
2. CA exposed there too
4. Uncertainty & Market volatility
5. Pro-growth = higher rates1. Especially if more hawks at Fed
6. Supply is already an issue here
7. CA very exposed to trade war1. What does retaliation look like?
2. Capital flows to/from China?
Trumponomics: the good, bad, and ugly
Impact of Tax Reform on the Housing Market
Two Provisions on the Individual Tax Reform Proposal:
- Doubling the Standard Deduction
- Repeal the state and local tax deduction
Impact on the housing market:
- By doubling the standard deduction, the incentive of using MID as a tax
saving tool as a homeowner would be nullified or eliminated
- The repeal of the state and local tax deduction would increase the cost
of owning a home
- Home values would decline as these tax saving advantages vanished
for homeowners
Impact of Tax Reform on the Housing Market
- The proposed tax reform would lead to fewer sales transactions as
the tax incentives of being a homeowner vanish for many who
want to purchase a property. Home sales would decline 3.4
percent if the proposed tax reform were to be implemented
- The decline in home values would also lead to homeowners’
reluctance to put their property on the market and further tighten
up the housing supply condition in California. An estimated 1.5
percent would be lost in the first year after the implementation of
the tax reform.
Impact of Tax Reform on the Housing Market
Decline in Home Value
Decline in home value due to the dilution of MID -3.4%
Decline in home value due to the elimination of deduction of
property tax -3.0%
Total decline in home value -6.4%
Potential loss in Sales
Loss in home sales due to the dilution of MID -1.3%
Loss in home sales due to the elimination of deduction of
property tax -2.1%
Total loss in home sales -3.4%
Potential loss in Housing Supply
Loss in housing supply due to the dilution of MID -0.8%
Loss in housing supply due to the elimination of deduction of
property tax -0.7%
Total loss in housing supply -1.5%
Incentives for Homeownership under the Proposed Tax Reform
Under the proposed law, the tax savings associated with moving from
renting to homeownership falls:
• First-time buyers ($100K income, $437K home) will see federal tax
incentive to own vs. rent decline from $3,291 to zero in the first year.
• Typical buyers ($120K income, $533.5K home) will see federal tax
incentive to own vs. rent decline from $5,782 to $362 in the first year.
• Mid-range buyers ($150K income, $615K home) will see federal tax
incentive to own vs. rent decline from $8,099 to $1,334 in the first year.
• High-end buyers ($200K income, $1.2M home) will see federal tax
incentive to own vs. rent decline from $16,615 to $5,725 in the first year.

SOURCE: CA HCD
Barriers and Constraints to Housing Development (cont.)
• Shortage of Land: • Production shortfall greatest in cities where need is most critical
• High Costs of Development• Fees in most California communities are higher than elsewhere in
US
• Infill development costs higher than suburban development costs
• Environmental policies, etc increase costs
• Lengthy permitting process increases cost per unit produced and favors deep pockets
Why the Production Shortfall?
Building in California is Expensive
SERIES: Homeownership RateSOURCE: CA Legislative Analyst Office
• 2 to 4 times higher on California (CA) Coasts
• High land costs usually mean more units being
built on each plot of land, but not the case in
CA’s coastal metros
• During the 2000’s housing density of a typical
neighborhood in CA’s coastal metro rose only
4%, considerably less than the 11% average
increase in the comparison group
• The new housing unit in the comparison group
was also 40% more dense than that built in CA.
Land Costs Building Costs
• $50k to $75 higher in California (CA)
• Include labor, building material and
government fees, all higher in CA than other
states
• Development fees are higher in California than the rest of the country. A 2012 national
survey found that the average development
fee levied by California local governments
(excluding water-related fees) was $22,000
per single family home, as compared to the
$6,000 per single-family home in the rest of the country.
Case Study: Restrictive Zoning in L.A.
SERIES: Los Angeles Zoned Residential CapacitySOURCE: Morrow (2016), the White House: Housing Development Toolkit
• Los Angeles was zoned to
accommodate 10 million people
in 1960
• Today, the city is zoned for only
4.3 million people after decades
of population growth and
increase in housing demand.

Negative impact of excessive barriers to housing development:
• Lower housing affordability for working families
• Increase income inequality by reducing less-skilled workers’ access to high-wage labor markets
• Slow down economic growth by driving labor migration away from the most productive regions

• Northrop Grumman (DC)
• Toyota (Plano, TX)
• Jamba Juice (Plano, TX)
• Parsons Engineering (Plano, TX)

What Can Be Done?
• Build More: Regulatory Changes Are Essential
• Free the Existing Inventory
• Add Secondary Units
• Recycle Retail and Commercial Projects
• Utilize Surplus Land (where ever available)
Inadequate Housing Supply
• Solutions must include:• Increase in Production
• Infill and brownfield opportunities in urban areas where shortage is critical
• Revitalization of Neighborhoods
• Change Incentive Structure Facing Cities• Fiscal
• Housing & Zoning Requirements
• Enforce housing elements of general plans, create incentives to comply
• Improve Business & Legal Climate for Developers – CEQA Reform
Solutions
• Attitude Shift is Essential to Moving Toward Solutions…• By Households as Residents
• By Households as Taxpayers
• By Local Elected Officials
• By State Officials
• … and an Attitude Shift Requires Education and Heightened Awareness of Problems, Implications, and Solutions!
• Solutions will take time
Solutions
The Forecast
• Home sales continued to grow in the third quarter, but started showing some signs of slowing
• Sales improved in mid and high priced markets, but declined in lower-priced segments
• Fundamentals remained solid with interest rates at low levels, household growth on an upward trend, and the economy improving at a slow pace
• Imbalance between supply and demand pushed up home prices, with price growth accelerating again in recent months
