Past Webinar: Addressing Construction Defect Liability to Expand Homeownership
Published On September 12, 2024
On Tuesday, October 8, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation and the Land Economics Society (LAI) hosted a webinar exploring the intersection of Construction Defect Liability and Homeownership. Condominiums—long a vital entry point for more affordable homeownership—have seen a significant decline in development across California, with construction defect liability laws serving as a key barrier. These laws, designed to protect home buyers, have unintentionally discouraged developers from building new condominiums.
In this webinar, we presented insights from our new policy brief and California Community Builders’ Adam Briones hosted a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience. The session highlighted opportunities for reform and explored the implications of these laws for the future of affordable homeownership.
Speakers:
Adam Briones, California Community Builders (moderator)
Muhammad Alameldin, Terner Center for Housing Innovation (research presentation)
Michael Lane, SPUR
David Marshall, WestBank
Tamara L. Boeck, Stoel Rives LLP
