Chuck Schierbeck II, MAI, MICP’s Post

Struck by this article about how old stigmas are leading to higher housing costs... People and communities across the country are tired of skyrocketing housing costs. Too many people are feeling priced out of the American dream. But there is a real answer to this challenge: CrossMods! These are off-site built homes that look, finance, and appraise just like site-built homes. That means you get the same quality, the same value, and the same financing options, but at a lower cost. So why are we still stuck with outdated stigmas holding back this housing revolution? It's time to ditch the negativity and embrace innovation! We should all be shouting it from the rooftops (especially the beautifully designed rooftops of our CrossMods!) that affordable, quality housing is possible! I hope that the leaders in Maine take bold action to help capitalize on this opportunity by allowing more access to attainable housing for their constituents. https://lnkd.in/g6RZi5Js #AffordableHousing #Innovation #CrossMod #HousingRevolution

BUILD BABY BUILD! City AM If we take complexity out of affordable housing: Deliver super efficiencies while developing and introducing liquidity and mobility into this horribly complex and illiquid market, could this build on affordability without the need for s106 agreements? Smooth out the peaks and troughs for house builders? Financial innovation could achieve this. We are working on it. #housingcrisis #affordablehousing

It is "missing" for a reason... because cities have regulated and zoned the product out of existence. As we look to address the housing crisis, we should be seeking to remove all barriers to critical missing middle housing. #missingmiddle #housing #housingcrisis #housingforall

Addressing the Housing Crisis : Michael Gove's recent warning highlights the urgent need for action as young people's frustrations with the housing market escalate. With home ownership declining and renting surging, it's time to acknowledge the broken state of the market. JLP has plans to deliver rental homes above our stores in Ealing, Bromley, and a disused warehouse in Reading. Partnering with investment firm abrdn, we're committed to revitalising local communities while bolstering our retail business. But we can't do it alone. In the below article I set out some suggestions calling policymakers to enact concrete measures, including creating brownfield development zones and mandating build-to-rent quotas in local plans. These steps will all help towards paving the way for much-needed housing solutions. https://lnkd.in/e_qSpzEU

Is NYC's housing solution here? 🚕🍎 Last month, NYC unveiled a new housing policy, including the #AdaptiveReuse of unused office buildings into much-needed apartments. These conversions can bring new housing options to the market quicker than traditional construction. This is crucial to address the housing shortage!

The Impact of Affordable Housing on the Real Estate Industry: Here’s a comprehensive analysis: 1.Impact on Market Dynamics: Affordable housing alters market dynamics by increasing demand in lower-priced segments, potentially leading to price stabilization or reduction in higher-priced areas. This can affect the overall balance of supply and demand, influencing property values and investment strategies. 2.Social and Economic Factors: Access to affordable housing is essential for socioeconomic stability. Communities with adequate affordable housing options tend to have better economic prospects, lower rates of homelessness, and reduced income inequality. Therefore, understanding the dynamics of affordable housing is crucial for fostering inclusive economic growth. 3.Regulatory Environment: Governments often implement policies and regulations to promote affordable housing initiatives, such as zoning changes, tax incentives, or subsidies. Real estate professionals must stay informed about these regulations as they can significantly impact development projects, investment decisions, and overall market conditions. 4.Consumer Behavior and Preferences: The demand for affordable housing reflects shifting consumer preferences, especially among younger generations and middle-income households facing housing affordability challenges. Developers and investors need to adapt their strategies to meet these evolving demands to remain competitive in the market. 5.Investment Opportunities: Affordable housing presents investment opportunities beyond traditional high-end markets. Real estate investors and developers are increasingly recognizing the potential for sustainable returns in affordable housing projects, driven by government support, growing demand, and innovative financing models. 6.Potential Benefits: Investing in affordable housing can diversify portfolios, mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations, and contribute to positive social impact. Moreover, it can foster long-term community development and strengthen relationships with local stakeholders. 7.Drawbacks and Challenges: Developing and managing affordable housing projects may involve higher upfront costs, regulatory hurdles, and operational complexities compared to luxury developments. Additionally, maintaining financial viability while keeping rents affordable can be challenging, requiring innovative financing structures and efficient property management strategies. 8.Industry Response: Real estate industry leaders are responding to the demand for affordable housing by diversifying their portfolios, forming partnerships with government agencies and nonprofit organizations, and embracing innovative technologies and construction methods to lower development costs and increase efficiency. #affordablehousing #realestatetrends #inclusivedevelopment #urbanplanning #housingforall #industryinnovation #sustainabledevelopment #communitybuilding

When I used to hear the words “Affordable Housing,” my mind immediately went to low-income, Section 8 neighborhoods, tucked away in less desirable parts of the city. But, once I started educating myself, everything changed. I realized affordable housing isn’t just one thing—it’s varied, dynamic, and crucial in today’s market. In the current environment, let me tell you—housing that is affordable is more important than ever. But even more exciting is affordable housing that is also sustainable, desirable, and yes—luxurious. Imagine homes that are smart, eco-friendly, and beautiful, where innovation meets comfort without breaking the bank. As we face rising rental rates across the country, having housing that fits both sustainable and luxurious standards isn’t just a want—it’s a necessity for smarter living. I want to challenge the outdated perceptions we have of affordable housing. It’s not just for one type of neighborhood or one group of people; it’s for everyone who believes in living smarter, living sustainably, and living well. Let’s shift the mindset from “low-income housing” to innovative housing that works for everyone. What’s your first thought when you hear “Affordable Housing”? Let’s have a conversation about what it really means—and what it can become. #Affordablehousing #Sustainableliving #Smarthomes #Rethinkhousing
