Rising Home Prices Prompt Policy Debate in Wisconsin as Senator Baldwin Proposes $15,000 Tax Credit for First-Time Buyers
In Wisconsin, purchasing a home has become quite costly. In just a few years, the price of a home increased by almost 50% yet the average person’s salary barely increased. Joe Biden, the president also discussed this matter. He’d want to see more homes built and offer a $10,000 tax credit to buyers. Legislators who are concerned that providing tax credits might not be the best course of action include Rep. Scott Fitzgerald. In their view, it is more crucial to construct additional homes in order to accommodate those who wish to purchase one. Despite the fact that it’s unclear if Senator Baldwin’s bill will pass due to the split in Congress she thinks it might assist families in purchasing houses and remaining in their communities.
