If this law passes, my guess is that one effect will be that more Californians will take the equity from selling their California homes and move to other states.

It may help ease the pain of potentially having a higher interest rate mortgage on the new home. Then again does not this benefit the wealthier citizens? Not sure what message this administration is trying to send.

I'm pretty confident that half a million would cover any gains in a home in my market, but I'm okay if it passes or not.

Sounds good in theory. But here's another theory:

ANY TIME the government and especially taxing authority puts their hands in/on our industry, it's a cluster of the first magnitude . . .
I remain cautiously optimistic, let's see what happens!

It is wise to do this as certain areas have ballooned in value never to come down again and motivation to sell as well as good business sense is needed if they are to enter the Real Estate arenas once again with their wealth. Timing for this is crucial.

I hope they do it.  I remember thinking of how few people would ever reach the $500k trigger back when the law was passed.  How wrong I was.

Oh that should help homeowners in our area where property values are higher. They should just build in the cost of living/inflation balancing as they do for many other tax laws.

I haven't been able to find out much about this proposal.  It doesn't seem to be a benefit for most of the nation and seems to favor the wealthy.

This would be incredibly helpful in my market where we have been hit year after year of either the introduction of major regulatory initiatives or tax related changes followed by the hit related to Covid. While this would benefit the wealthy...it's not enough in my market to make much of a difference to them. Mostly, this is a middle class benefit in my area.

John,

If this is passed,  will the NIIT (the 3.8% Medicare tax imposed from ObamaDoesn'tCare) exclusion automatically adjust to the new rates of $500K/$1 million for the sale of a principal residence from the current $250/$500k for single/married joint filing taxpayers?
