Victory for California Homeowners!
Because thousands of California REALTORS® took action and made their voices heard, AB 736, a bill that would have incentivized cities to raise transfer taxes on property, particularly higher-value homes, will not move forward.
When the threat emerged, REALTORS® across California responded immediately. In just over 24 hours, more than 12,000 calls were made by REALTORS® to members of the Legislature, urging them to oppose the bill. That overwhelming response sent a clear message: increasing taxes on homeownership is not the answer.
This outcome is a powerful reminder that REALTOR® advocacy works. When REALTORS® engage, lawmakers listen. Your calls, emails, and outreach helped stop a proposal that would have made buying and selling a home more expensive for California families.
Thank you, C.A.R. members, for standing up for homeowners, homebuyers, property rights, and taxpayers across California. This victory belongs to you.
