<p>Tim Murphy, North State’s President and CEO, emphasized that the strong demand persists despite rising mortgage rates, reinforcing the ongoing need for increased new home construction. He noted that excessive regulations and fees averaging over $100,000 per home are significant obstacles to affordability and hinder the ability to meet the region’s housing needs. </p>
<p>“We continue to stress to elected officials throughout the region that excessive regulations and sky-high fees make it more difficult and costly to build the new homes the region needs,” said Murphy. “Reforms to speed the approval process and reduce fee burdens would allow our members to build more homes, improve affordability, and begin to bring supply and demand into balance. These changes are needed statewide, but especially here in Sacramento, which was historically far more affordable than it is today.”</p>
