California Voters Say YES
to Expanding Homeownership!

California voters have approved Proposition 37 with more than 60% support, marking a significant victory for homeownership opportunities across the state. Sponsored by the California Association of REALTORS®, the measure aims to address two major barriers to homeownership: high down payment costs and the limited supply of affordable homes.

Prop. 37 will help qualified Californians purchase newly constructed homes with as little as 3% down, while encouraging the development of more affordably priced housing. The victory also highlights the collective efforts of REALTORS® throughout California who helped raise awareness and build support for the measure.

Additionally, salespeople, brokers, broker associates, and independent contractors are now personally liable for sexual harassment in professional relationships with clients—even if the relationship has ended.

Risk Management Tip:
The responsible broker and anyone supervising agents or employees—including those who hire, fire, reward, or discipline—should also complete supervisory training.
