California Eliminates Single Family Zoning
To address the housing crisis, California recently signed into law Assembly Bill 68 (AB 68), which incentivizes the creation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), also known as in-law units or granny flats on single-family lots. Under AB 68, homeowners who apply to build ADU's can also apply to build a second, junior ADU on their property, which is the functional equivalent of statewide triplex zoning. The units do not have to be owner occupied. This opens up all kinds of new possibilities for California homeowners. To learn more about how you can benefit, please ask me.

Buyer Tip
Check your credit before you start looking for your new home. There are many free online resources that can help you. This will give you the opportunity to dispute any errors or possibly look for ways to improve your score. The pre-approval process will be easier as a result. When you find your next home, you will be ready to go.

Seller Tip
Thinking of selling in 2020? A record number of our listings sold in December and January so far. Waiting until April or May to get your house ready for market may be too late to benefit from this type of momentum. Contact me today for a free, no obligation consultation so we can position you to hit your goals.
