U.S. | Tax reform and home prices: Is there a cause for concern?
Summary
The net effect of the proposed tax changes on house prices will be limited. Doubling the standard deduction will increase the incentives to rent. The lower cap on mortgage interest deduction can lower prices of homes in higher price ranges over time. Other tax proposals will tighten housing market conditions and generate upward pressures on home prices.
