Video Description
Is the California Dream becoming out of reach? 🏠📉

The numbers are in, and they are eye-opening: only 18% of California households can afford a median-priced single-family home. In this video, Brad & Karen Mattonen discuss the urgent need for a shift in our state’s housing approach. From a 16% drop in permitting to new “VMT” rules that could add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cost of a new home, we break down why 2026 must be a year for reform.

What we discuss in this update:

The Affordability Crisis: Why only 1 in 5 families can currently afford to buy.

The Supply Shortage: How falling permit numbers are tightening an already crowded market.

The VMT Impact: What new “Vehicle Miles Traveled” regulations mean for housing costs and your wallet.

The Path Forward: Why working with homebuilders and local leaders is essential to bringing inventory back.

At Homes in SD County, we don’t just track the market—we help you navigate it.
