“Although price growth has slowed since rates have returned to historic norms and inventory has increased this year, supply remains tight, and affordability has deteriorated, so a full recovery to pre-pandemic levels is still a few years out, even though sales are expected to continue rising in the Bay Area during 2025,” Levine said.

How much say the board will have is uncertain given the state Legislature’s pro-housing initiative that has effectively undermined local review and control over proposed housing developments. The proposal calls for building a 32-unit affordable apartment complex on a half-acre at 150 Shoreline Highway. The location, in a classified flood zone, runs into the county’s planning focus to limit development in areas that might be threatened by climate change and rising tides.

“Those profiting from these transactions were unwilling to accept any meaningful accountability requirements, including that rents be discounted meaningfully from general market rents,” said Mark Stivers, director of advocacy for the California Housing Partnership, one of the program’s critics. “Greater accountability to the public is still very much needed.”

Read MoreMarin IJ: A California Insurance Crisis and Which Bay Area Communities Have Lost the Most Coverage, Including Significant Impact on Mill Valley
California’s property insurance market has been reeling after a series of devastating and costly wildfires over the last decade, with estimated losses of more than $35.8 billion.
