We did it! We kept the legislators from trying to increase the cost of homeownership.

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.

Call your legislators! I called mine! Urge them to vote no!

RED ALERT: AB 736, a transfer tax bill currently moving through the California Legislature, could significantly increase the taxes homeowners pay when they sell their homes. This issue matters to every homeowner in California. Please urge your legislators today to vote NO on AB 736.

AB 736 would allow local governments to increase transfer taxes on home sales far beyond what most Californians pay today. For example, for a home that sold for $900,000, the tax could increase from roughly $1,000 today to as much as $13,500 or even $27,000 in some cases.

For many homeowners, that money would come directly out of the equity they have worked for years to build. Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or remain in your home for years to come, policies like AB 736 that increase housing costs will affect all Californians.
