California Proposition 37: Loans for New Homes
The ballot measure proposed a California down payment loan program of up to $25B, funded by bonds and repaid through loan income, not taxes.
It said borrowers had to buy a newly built or never-sold home in California, contribute at least 3% down, and could borrow up to 17%.
The measure did not require first-time buyer status, but income could not exceed 200% of local median, with county-based caps and sales-price limits.
Support came from labor groups, a Real Estate trade group, and a state political party; opponents said the measure would subsidize costly construction.
Other terms still needed details, including the second mortgage rate; the policy center said it likely would exceed conventional 30-yr mortgage rates near 7%. -

California Prop 19 Lets Homeowners Move Tax Value
California homeowners 55+ may transfer an original home's taxable value to a replacement principal residence anywhere in the state, instead of restarting at market value.
To qualify, you generally must be 55+ when the original home sells, use both homes as principal residences, and buy or build within 2 years.
The replacement home can be any value, but staying within the rule's value limits preserves the transfer cleanly; amounts above the limit get added.
If you buy first and sell later, the transfer starts with the later transaction, full-market taxes may apply temporarily, and the state offers no refund.
The benefit remains available, can be used up to 3 times, and requires a county assessor claim within 3 years to protect full relief. -
