With no clear frontrunner, the California governor’s race is shaping up to be highly competitive this year. Last week, C.A.R. brought together several leading candidates for a timely conversation on the future of housing and pathways to homeownership in California.
Moderated by C.A.R. President Tamara Suminski and C.A.R. CEO Phil Hawkins, the forum featured candidates outlining their housing priorities, policy solutions, and vision for expanding homeownership opportunities for all Californians. Throughout the discussion, candidates from across the political spectrum acknowledged the severity of the state’s housing challenges and committed to making homeownership a priority if elected governor.
If you missed it live or want to see it again, you can now watch the recording of the Homeownership Matters Gubernatorial Forum 2026 at car.org/meetings/livestream. Hear directly from the candidates about policies that will shape our state’s housing market for years to come.

Upcoming MLS Updates – April 15
We’re updating the MLS to give you more control when adding your listings. These improvements help create better search results and give your property details the attention they deserve.
- Directions to Property: Character limit increased from 50 to 70 to allow for clearer, more complete directions.
- Public Remarks: Character limit increased from 1,000 to 2,500 characters.
- Listing Photos: Maximum number of photos increased from 60 to 99.
- Water and Sewer Features: These will now appear as separate feature categories for more accurate data entry and search results.
- New Selectable Features:
- “Taxiway Properties” added to X – Lot Description in the Residential class and H – Lot Description in the Lots & Land
- “Aircraft Hangar” added to N – Garage/Parking in the Residential class
New MLS Status: Sold Off MLS
This status is designed to improve data accuracy and provide a clearer picture of market activity. It allows subscribers to enter a property that was sold before being submitted to the MLS, ensuring it is captured for comparable and reporting purposes. Meaning, at the seller’s request, the property was never entered into the MLS prior to the sale.
