New CCRE Report: Unlocking Potential
in the Bay Area Housing Market
The Center for California Real Estate (CCRE) has released a new report titled “Unlocking Potential: Tackling the Bay Area’s Housing Supply Challenge.” The Bay Area faces a critical shortage of housing that is driving up prices. This report outlines a summary from a panel of experts, convened by the Center for California Real Estate (CCRE), discussing the barriers to increasing housing supply and proposing solutions to address these challenges. The panel focused on the urgent need for regulatory reform, innovative financing models, and a cultural shift in public opinion to support housing initiatives.
CCRE panelists examined a range of issues, including restrictive zoning laws, high construction costs, and the discretionary nature of issuing permits. The discussion emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates policy reform, community engagement, and targeted investments to create a more dynamic and inclusive housing market in the Bay Area.
