Pacific Resource Partnership

Hey friends 👋 A new study from the National Association of Home Builders reveals that government regulations are adding nearly **$132,000** to the cost of an average new single-family home. That’s **26.4%** of the final price ($499,500) — and it’s up significantly from five years ago.

The biggest single factor? Evolving building codes over the past decade.

These costs directly affect families trying to buy a home. And of course, the regulatory costs are higher in Hawai'i!

Smarter regulation doesn’t mean less safety — it means more attainable housing. Full NAHB report here: https://tinyurl.com/4kbnjtv7
