Could A Change In The Tax Code Drive Away Home Buyers?

Changing gears, Steve wants to talk about an article in the New York Times about the explosion of rental units across the country. Terry mentions an uptick in the housing market and increasing home-ownership rates as millennials reach the age where they’re forming families and settling down. Even so, home-ownership is still below its historic norm of 65% and future growth could be slowed by rising interest rates and an overhaul of the tax code, which could take away the mortgage interest deduction on Federal taxes.

Think Twice Before Adding Children To Your House Deed

Switching gears, Steve poses a listener’s question for the Real Estate Survival Guide segment, which asks if it’s wise to add a child’s name to older adults’ deeds. While this may seem like a good idea on the face of it, Terry believes it may not be all that wise. When you add an adult child to the deed, you’re also giving them permission to say “no” to selling your house, so if you need the money or decide you want to sell the house and travel, your child could refuse and that could be a problem.
