The bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law on July 11 without the president’s signature, following overwhelming approval in both the House and Senate.

The legislation aims to increase housing supply and improve affordability by discouraging large institutional purchases of single-family homes, incentivizing local zoning reforms, expanding access to small-dollar mortgages, and modernizing financing for manufactured and modular housing.

Thanks to the quick action of REALTORS® across California, AB 736 will not move forward. The bill would have incentivized cities to raise transfer taxes on property sales, particularly on higher-value homes, adding another cost burden for homeowners, homebuyers, and communities already facing housing affordability challenges.

When the threat emerged, REALTORS® responded immediately. In just over 24 hours, more than 12,000 calls were made to members of the Legislature urging opposition to the bill. That strong response sent a clear message: increasing taxes on homeownership is not the solution.

This outcome is a powerful reminder that REALTOR® advocacy works. When REALTORS® speak up, lawmakers listen. Thank you to everyone who took action to help protect homeownership and property rights in California.
