Housing production data for metropolitan areas for each year is the difference of annual housing unit estimates from the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program. Housing production data for the region, counties, and cities for each year is the difference of annual housing unit estimates from the California Department of Finance. Department of Finance data uses an annual cycle between January 1 and December 31, whereas U.S. Census Bureau data uses an annual cycle from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.

Housing production data shows how many housing units have been produced over time. Like housing permit statistics, housing production numbers are an indicator of where the region is growing. However, since permitted units are sometimes not constructed or there can be a long lag time between permit approval and the start of construction, production data also reflects the effects of barriers to housing production. These range from a lack of builder confidence to high construction costs and limited financing. Data also differentiates the trends in multi-family, single-family and mobile home production.

This statistic describes the largest construction projects in California based on value as of February 2020. The Delta Water Tunnels/California Waterfix project was valued at **** billion U.S. dollars.

The number of building permits for single-family homes in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim fell slightly in 2024. That year, there were ****** permits issued for single-family homes in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles.

California Title 24 HVAC Controls Upgrades Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the California Title 24 HVAC Controls Upgrades market size was valued at $1.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2033, expanding at a robust CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period of 2025–2033. The primary growth driver for this market is the stringent implementation of California’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which mandates advanced HVAC controls for both new construction and retrofit projects. These regulations are pushing building owners and operators to upgrade their HVAC systems with state-of-the-art controls, fostering energy efficiency, reducing operational costs, and supporting California’s ambitious sustainability goals. The growing emphasis on decarbonization, coupled with increasing awareness about energy conservation and cost-saving opportunities, is further accelerating the adoption of HVAC controls upgrades across commercial, residential, and industrial sectors in the state.

Regional Outlook

Southern California holds the largest share of the California Title 24 HVAC Controls Upgrades market, accounting for approximately 48% of the total market value in 2024. This dominance is attributed to the region’s dense urbanization, high concentration of commercial real estate, and a proactive approach to sustainability and energy efficiency. Southern California’s mature construction market, coupled with the presence of leading technology providers and a strong culture of compliance with state regulations, has created a fertile ground for HVAC controls upgrades. The region’s ongoing investments in smart building infrastructure and frequent retrofitting of older buildings to meet updated Title 24 requirements further reinforce its leading position. Additionally, local government initiatives and incentive programs have accelerated adoption, making Southern California a benchmark for energy-efficient building practices in the state.

Northern California is emerging as the fastest-growing region within the California Title 24 HVAC Controls Upgrades market, expected to register a CAGR of 11.2% through 2033. This acceleration is driven by robust investments in green building technologies, the presence of Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem, and a high concentration of technology-driven enterprises prioritizing sustainability. The region’s progressive policies, coupled with active public-private partnerships, have resulted in a surge of both new construction and retrofit projects adopting advanced HVAC controls. Northern California’s strong focus on integrating smart sensors, IoT-enabled devices, and data analytics into building management systems is setting new standards for energy efficiency and operational optimization across commercial, residential, and industrial segments.

In contrast, Central California represents an emerging opportunity within the market, though it faces unique adoption challenges. The region’s lower urban density and a higher prevalence of older building stock have historically limited the pace of HVAC controls upgrades. However, as local governments increase outreach and incentives for Title 24 compliance, and as awareness grows among building owners about long-term cost savings, the market is gradually gaining momentum. Central California’s agricultural and industrial sectors are beginning to recognize the benefits of advanced HVAC controls, particularly for operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Nevertheless, the region still contends with budget constraints, workforce skill gaps, and slower adoption rates compared to its southern and northern counterparts.

Development of house sales in the U.S. One of the reasons for rising property prices is the gradual growth of house sales between 2011 and 2020. This period was marked by the gradual recovery following the subprime mortgage crisis and a growing housing sentiment. Another significant factor for the housing demand was the growing number of new household formations each year. Despite this trend, housing transactions plummeted in 2021, amid soaring prices and borrowing costs. In 2021, the average construction cost for single-family housing rose by nearly ** percent year-on-year, and in 2022, the increase was even higher, at close to ** percent. Financing a house purchase Mortgage interest rates in the U.S. rose dramatically in 2022 and remained elevated until 2024. In 2020, a homebuyer could lock in a 30-year fixed interest rate of under ***** percent, whereas in 2024, the average rate for the same mortgage type was more than twice higher. That has led to a decline in homebuyer sentiment, and an increasing share of the population pessimistic about buying a home in the current market.

[Deprecation Warning] As of October 19, this dataset is no loger updated. See https://data.sfgov.org/City-Management-and-Ethics/SFEC-Form-3500-Disclosure-Report-for-Developers-of/8je3-gv3q for the current dataset. Effective July 26, 2014, City law impose reporting requirements on developers of certain City real estate projects with an estimated construction cost of more than $1,000,000. Developers must file five forms with the Ethics Commission over the course of about a year disclosing donations to nonprofit organizations that have contacted City officials about their project. The first form is due within 30 days of certification of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") by a local agency or, if the project relies on a program EIR, within 30 days of the adoption of a final environmental determination under the California Environmental Quality Act. Disclosure is not required for a residential development project with four or fewer dwelling units. A disclosure report must be completed and filed by the developer of any "major project." A major project is a real estate development project located in the City and County of San Francisco with estimated construction costs exceeding $1,000,000 where either: The Planning Commission or any other local lead agency certifies an Environmental Impact Review ("EIR") for the project under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"); or The project relies on a program EIR and the Planning Department, Planning Commission, or any other local lead agency adopts any final environmental determination under CEQA. (See below to determine when a final environmental determination is adopted.)A major project does not include a residential development project with four or fewer dwelling units. For purposes of this filing requirement, a "developer" includes the individual or entity that is the project sponsor responsible for filing a completed Environmental Evaluation Application ("EEA") with the Planning Department (or other lead agency) under CEQA. However, if an individual who signs and submits the EEA will not be responsible for obtaining the entitlements or developing the major project, the developer is instead the individual or entity that is responsible for obtaining such entitlements. A developer must use the SFEC 3500 form to file a total of five reports with the Ethics Commission with respect to each major project. The first (or initial) report must be filed within 30 days of the date the Planning Commission or any other local lead agency certifies the EIR for that project or, for a major project relying on a program EIR, within 30 days of the date that the Planning Department, Planning Commission, or any other local lead agency adopts a final environmental determination under CEQA. 1The developer must also use this form to file four subsequent quarterly reports, beginning with the quarter in which in the initial report is filed. The due dates for the quarterly reports are: April 15 for the period starting January 1 and ending March 31; July 15 for the period starting April 1 and ending June 30;October 15 for the period starting July 1 and ending September 30; and January 15 for the period starting October 1 and ending December 31.
