In a special live recording of Episode 26 of the Unlocking California Politics podcast, C.A.R. Senior Vice President Sanjay Wagle sat down with C.A.R.’s Legislative Advocate Jennifer Svec at C.A.R.’s 2025 Legislative Day in Sacramento. In this episode, Jennifer and Sanjay break down the behind-the-scenes work of C.A.R.’s advocacy team, explaining how it all works, how they defend the real estate industry from harmful state legislation, and how they promote policies that support homeownership in California. Jennifer and Sanjay discuss real-life examples of how C.A.R.’s advocacy team works to pass critical legislation, like the decades-long fight for ADUs. They also explain how the team pushes back on harmful bills and is always guided by the policies set by C.A.R. members to protect homeownership and support REALTORS® across the state. “You are the ones that drive the policies that your advocacy team works on. We are just the soldiers and your voice in that building, but we do not actually dictate what your policy is. We take those instructions and go forward. We know inherently by being your advocacy team what is the priority and is going to cause the most detriment to your industry and your business.” – Jennifer Svec, C.A.R.’s Legislative Advocate.

Unlocking California Politics EP 25: Unlocking C.A.R.'s 2025 Housing Forecast with Jordan Levine

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 • Duration 33:43

In this episode, C.A.R. Senior Vice President Sanjay Wagle sits down with Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine to discuss California’s 2025 housing forecast. They explore what’s ahead for buyers, sellers, and the broader market—and why housing remains central to both personal financial growth and the state’s economic outlook. The conversation covers the impact of shifting inventory levels on sales activity, the challenges of a persistently undersupplied market, and why trying to “time the market” may not pay off. With thoughtful analysis and practical takeaways, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at what to expect in the months ahead. “California’s chronically undersupplied, meaning that outside of wild cards and curve balls in the economy, prices have only ever gone one way over the long term. You can always take advantage of lower rates if they go down in the future, but you can never jump in the time machine and go back and pay the cheaper price.” – Jordan Levine, C.A.R.’s Vice President and Chief Economist.
