Building Tax Plan Chills Housing Market
Treasury tax simplification plans threaten real estate value and new construction. Economists warn home values could drop 10 to 20 percent, with vacation homes hardest hit. Mortgage deductions shrink to 35 percent value, itemized real estate tax deductibility ends, and vacation-home caps raise after tax costs. Mortgage rates may fall, offsetting some price declines, while construction drops about 8 percent. Data Resources projects varied home value losses by price tier, with some homes gaining slightly.
