California Beware!

CAR just sent this message and are opposing this bill because if passed, it would cost sellers a lot more to sell their properties! While we all should move towards being energy efficient, it should not be a mandate when selling a home! 

 The California Association of Realtors are asking its members to call Your Lawmaker Today to Ask that  the Point-of-Sale Provision be Removed from AB 2678! We might want to pass this along to clients, friends and neigbors too!

C.A.R. is OPPOSING AB 2678 (Núñez) which among other things, requires that ALL homes and commercial property in California have an energy audit at point-of-sale and that mandatory energy efficiency investments be made. While C.A.R. appreciates the goal of AB 2678 C.A.R. strongly opposes the point-of-sale requirements in AB 2678 because they fail to achieve the bill?s objectives and, such mandates will further weaken the housing market. If enacted, AB 2678 could add thousands of dollars to the cost of purchasing a home, including up to $400 just to have a home audited. AB 2678 was passed by the Assembly Utilities committee. It will have a vote in the Assembly Appropriations committee before heading to a vote by the entire Assembly.
