Why it matters: These expiring tax breaks could mean thousands of dollars in additional taxes for homeowners across the country. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), passed in 2017, was designed to reduce taxes for most Americans by simplifying the tax code and lowering rates. Many of its key provisions were designed to be temporary, with an expiration date of December 31, 2025.

New home sales dipped nearly 12% in February compared to last year, even as the national market held steady at an average level of performance for the second consecutive month, according to Zonda’s latest New Home Market Update. Why It Matters: The pace of new home sales is becoming increasingly uneven across the country. Larger builders are doing better than smaller ones, and buyers looking for higher-priced homes are showing more resilience than entry-level shoppers.
