Local buyer protection (WA): Western Australia is pushing new laws after the Nicheliving collapse, giving the building commissioner more power to demand financial proof and letting buyers access insurance and switch builders if a project looks at risk. Zoning fight (Michigan): Michigan’s “Housing Readiness Package” would loosen zoning rules for smaller homes and lots, but local leaders are pushing back over loss of control. Market pulse (US): Realtor.com data shows Middlesex County home prices ticked up in February (median $747,500), while Chittenden County dipped (median $447,500).
