Mixed Forecast for California

California homebuilders expect the fourth biggest year since 1989despite overall housing starts predicted to be l5-207o lower than in 2005.

"In the Bay Area, Orange County, and in the Los Angeles basin, we see continuing strength in multifamily construction, most of it higher-density condominiums in the urban core," said Califomia Building Industry Association economist Alan Nevin. "Most other markets are holding steady in multifamily units, with the exception of San Diego County, where development has declined markedly, predominantly because of a near-total cutback in downtown high-rise development."

The construction of attached units will remain extremely strong in most markets and is expected to total between 45,000 and 55,000 unitsabout the same as last year. Singlefamily starts are expected to drop to between 125.000 and 135,000, compared to almost 155,000 in 2005.

Although production remains solid in most of Southern California, starts are likely to be significantly below last year's level in San Diego, the central San Joaquin Valley, the Sacramento region, and the Bay Area.

"The decline in single-family production in those areas is the result of a combination of rapid price run-ups in the upscale market and rising interest rates," said Nevin. He also expects home prices to continue leveling off in most metro areas, increasing by less than sEo statewide.
