Bill Could Add More San Diego Condos | If You Think It’s Expensive To Hire A Professional; Wait Till You Hire An Amateur!

San Diego's housing market has limited homes for sale, high prices, low sales, and low turnover, so supporters say more for-sale condos could help.
Supporters say the defect law lets buyers sue before builders can fix issues, and lawsuit risk has slowed San Diego condo and townhome building.
The housing plan backs cottages, duplexes, and townhomes, yet supporters say legal changes alone would not solve San Diego affordability because land costs remain high.
Opponents warn the bill could make valid defect claims harder by raising proof requirements and leaving homeowners less willing to hire experts.
If enacted, homeowners could still sue after showing problems while builders would get a chance to repair first as the bill moved through the Senate.
