Biden’s Proposed Tax Credits Aim to Revitalize Housing Market
Biden Proposes $10,000 Tax Credits to Boost Homeownership
FingerLakes – President Joe Biden has proposed new tax credits during his recent State of the Union address, aiming to help more people buy homes. These home tax credit would give $10,000 to both first time homebuyers and current homeowners wanting to upgrade from their smaller homes. The goal is to boost the housing market which has been slow due to high mortgage rates and home prices. Supporters of the plan like David M. Dworkin from the National Housing Council think it could make a big difference in housing policy. Biden’s plan offers $5,000 per year for two years to first time buyers and up to $10,000 for current homeowners selling their starter homes. These home tax credit target middle class families earning less than $200,000 and could help around 3.5 million families buy homes and 3 million upgrade to bigger ones.
Approval of Biden’s Housing Tax Credits Faces Uncertain Timeline in Congress
However, getting these home tax credit approved by Congress might take some time. The White House wants them to start benefiting people in the 2024 tax year but it depends on Congress passing the legislation. Still, many see this as a crucial step in making homes more affordable for Americans across the country.
