As you know, I never mention anything about politics. The California Association of REALTORS® supports and opposes numerous bills and propositions at any given time - anything related to home ownership and property rights. This year, as Monterey county's association president, I have been even more involved and seeing the declining statistics of homeownership rates (especially in California), and the increasing average age of the first-time home buyer. It's quite shocking but not surprising given how expensive housing is, the increase in interest rates, and the lack of home building. There's a proposition on the ballot that aims to address these challenges with NO cost to taxpayers. It's a revenue bond which means private investors will be paying for it - not taxpayers. I hope you'll indulge me and do further research before you vote.

Prop 37 addresses two of the biggest challenges facing California homebuyers today: the down payment and the shortage of homes available to buy.

Here’s why I’m voting YES on Prop 37:
It helps qualified Californians overcome the high down payment required for buying a home by providing up to 17% of the purchase price of a new home. Eligible buyers must be a California resident, have income up to 200% of the Area Median Income (AMI), put at least 3% down, and occupy the home as a primary residence.
It helps build more homes. Prop 37 applies only to newly constructed homes, helping spur new construction and expand California’s housing supply by an estimated 190,000 homes.
No cost to taxpayers. The program would be funded through revenue bonds purchased by private investors, not taxpayers. Participating homeowners would repay the bonds, not the state’s General Fund.

California needs more homes and more opportunities for working and middle-income families to become homeowners. Prop 37 helps address both. Please consider joining me in voting YES on Prop 37 on November 3. by @overthemoonrealty

Flights booked out? Schedules clashing? Sometimes the best summer happens right where you are. A staycation isn't settling; it's choosing rest on your own terms. Sleep in, slow down, and actually enjoy your space this summer. #staycation #slowdown #home by @overthemoonrealty

Higher bills are only part of the problem. Inefficient systems, small repairs, and everyday safety risks can add up quickly. Even unplugging devices once they are charged can make a difference. If you want a home that runs safer and more efficiently, reach out, and I can help. #homeaudit #referralnetwork #trustedprofessional by @overthemoonrealty

AB 736, a transfer tax bill currently moving through the California Legislature, could significantly increase the taxes homeowners pay when they sell their homes. This issue matters to every homeowner in California. Please urge your legislators today to vote NO on AB 736.

AB 736 would allow local governments to increase transfer taxes on home sales far beyond what most Californians pay today. For example, for a home that sold for $900,000, the tax could increase from roughly $1,000 today to as much as $13,500 or even $27,000 in some cases.

For many homeowners, that money would come directly out of the equity they have worked for years to build. Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or remain in your home for years to come, policies like AB 736 that increase housing costs will affect all Californians. by @overthemoonrealty
