🏘️🪖 HB 2672: PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS 🪖🏘️

A bill sponsored by House Majority Leader Michael Carbone to fully exempt 100% service-connected disabled veterans from property taxes was passed by the Arizona House with strong bipartisan support.

HB2672 provides long-overdue relief to those who have made immense sacrifices for the country by ensuring they and their surviving spouses can remain in their homes without the burden of property taxes.

Under previous law, disabled veterans received only a partial property tax exemption, with strict limits based on income and assessment values. HB2672 removes those restrictions, fully exempting homes owned by veterans who are rated 100% disabled due to service-related injuries. It also extends this exemption to their surviving spouses, as long as the spouse remains in the home and does not remarry.

🛞🚨PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION ROUTE🚨🛞

The North-South Corridor (State Route 505) is a 55-mile planned future transportation route in Pinal County that would stretch from US 60 in Apache Junction to Interstate 10 near Eloy, and pass through the town of Queen Creek, city of Coolidge, town of Florence and portions of unincorporated Pinal County.

The North-South Corridor is also proposed to connect with the future extension of SR 24.

The North-South Corridor route was selected in 2021 in the final Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD), which identified a 1,500-foot-wide North-South corridor route.

Additional Tier 2 environmental and engineering studies are underway to refine the corridor to a proposed 400-foot freeway alignment and identify the location of interchanges and other design features. ADOT has divided the North-South Corridor into two separate study areas for these Tier 2 studies: segment 1 is US 60 to Arizona Farms Road while segment 2 is Arizona Farms Road to Interstate 10 near Eloy.

Currently, there is no timeline to build any portion of the North-South Corridor, as there is no funding identified for design, right-of-way or construction.

The purpose of the North-South Corridor is to address current and future transportation needs in Pinal County, improve regional connectivity and provide an additional connection through a growing area of Pinal County.

🏗️⛽️ WESTERN GATEWAY PIPELINE ⛽️🏗️

Companies have been racing to build a major new fuel pipeline to the U.S. West Coast ahead of planned refinery closures in California, a relatively isolated fuel market with limited links to major refining hubs that leave it vulnerable to supply disruptions and price spikes.

Western Gateway is a proposed 1,300-mile refined products pipeline system with a design capacity of 230,000 barrels per day that would establish a new fuel supply route from St. Louis, Missouri and Gulf Coast origin points to Arizona and California. The project is targeting completion in 2029. Phillips 66 and HF Sinclair's ability to move product west will be a major positive for their refining systems, UBS analysts said, particularly during the winter months when demand is softer in the mid-continent and Midwest regions.

Phillips 66's Gold Pipeline, which currently runs from Borger, Texas to St. Louis, will be reversed to supply the proposed east-to-west system, as will Kinder Morgan's existing pipeline between Colton, California and Phoenix, Arizona.

🚓🚦RESTRICTED U-TURNS: JOHN WAYNE PRKWY🚦🚓

Beginning in late September, U-turns will no longer be permitted at most intersections along the John Wayne Parkway corridor.

The restriction will apply to John Wayne Parkway from Cobblestone Farms Drive/Lakeview Drive to Sonoran Desert Parkway – with the exception of Hathaway Avenue due to the already limited access to the adjacent shopping centers.

The change is intended to reduce conflict points, improve traffic flow, and enhance safety along the corridor. It is just one of the traffic-pattern changes the City of Maricopa has made as part of our ongoing efforts to identify and address traffic safety concerns throughout Maricopa.

💸🏘️ MORE HOMES ON THE MARKET ACT 🏘️💸

The More Homes on the Market Act is a proposed U.S. federal bill (H.R. 1340) introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Jimmy Panetta to double the federal capital gains exclusion for the sale of a primary residence.

The Act aims to reduce the tax burden on homeowners who sell their main home, which is often a major reason they delay or avoid selling. By lowering the taxable gain, it encourages more long‑term homeowners to list their properties, thereby increasing housing supply and giving buyers more choices.

Under current rules, homeowners can exclude up to $250K /$500K (single/married) of capital gains from the sale of a primary residence. The Act would raise this to $500K ($1M for married couples). For taxable years after 2024, the amounts would also be adjusted for inflation.

If passed, the More Homes on the Market Act would double the home equity tax exclusion, making selling a primary residence more tax‑friendly. This could significantly increase housing supply and potentially improve affordability, but it remains a proposed bill and has not yet become law.

💸🏚️ UNREALISTIC & OVERPRICED 🏚️💸

Sellers often overprice a home due to emotional attachment, a desire to leave room for negotiation, or an overestimation of the value brought by custom upgrades. Many are also unmotivated to sell unless they hit a specific "dream number" or are anchored to outdated peak market conditions.

Common Psychological Reasons:
* Emotional bias - the endowment effect causes owners to value their own property higher because of personal memories and milestones.
* Fear of leaving money on the table - owners worry they might underprice the property, prompting them to aim unrealistically high.
* Outdated expectations - sellers sometimes anchor their price to previous market highs rather than adjusting to current local conditions.

Strategic Miscalculations:
* Room to negotiate - believing they can always drop the price later if it does not sell.
* Overvaluing improvements - expecting a dollar-for-dollar return on personalized or costly upgrades that buyers might not care about.
* Unmotivated listing - testing the market with no real urgency to move unless a buyer pays an inflated price.

💸 🏘️ 30YR MORTGAGE v 10YR TREASURY 🏘️ 💸

Many people assume the Federal Reserve directly controls mortgage rates. That is a common misconception. The Fed sets the federal funds rate, which is the overnight lending rate between banks. This short-term rate most directly affects adjustable-rate mortgages, credit cards, home equity lines of credit, and auto loans.

The 10-year Treasury yield, on the other hand, is a long-term rate determined by the bond market. It reflects investor expectations about future inflation, economic growth, and Fed policy over the next decade. While the funds rate and the 10-year Treasury yield are related, they can and often do move in different directions.

The relationship is not one-to-one. The mortgage spread can widen or narrow based on economic conditions, Federal Reserve policy, inflation expectations, and risk sentiment. Tracking both the 10-year Treasury yield and the current spread gives you the most complete picture of where mortgage rates are heading.
