Supporters of the measure argue that helping middle-income Californians purchase newly built homes could expand homeownership while also encouraging construction.

Opponents have said the measure would encourage homebuyers to take on additional debt without addressing the underlying causes of the state's housing affordability crisis. They also said it could leave buyers with a second monthly payment in addition to their primary mortgage and other home expenses.
