Did you know that that California Association of Realtors helped stop a bill that would’ve cost homeowners massive transfer tax hikes???

We are always paying attention and fighting for homeowners rights.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) announced a major victory for homeownership in California after REALTORS® statewide mobilized to stop AB 736 from moving forward in the California State Legislature.

In just over 24 hours, thousands of REALTORS® from every corner of the state made more than 12,000 calls to members of the Legislature urging them to oppose AB 736, a proposal that would have incentivized local governments to raise transfer taxes on property sales. The unprecedented speed and scale of this grassroots response sent a clear message to lawmakers: California will not solve its affordability crisis by making homeownership more expensive.

"C.A.R. opposed AB 736 because higher transfer taxes would increase the cost of buying and selling a home at a time when affordability remains one of California's greatest housing challenges," said C.A.R. President Tamara Suminski. "Expanding local transfer taxes would have placed additional financial burdens on families already struggling to achieve the dream of homeownership.

Would you pay CGT if you sell?

The current capital gains tax exclusion amounts are $250K for single filers and $500K for joint filers. The problem is that those exclusion amounts were set in 1997. Since then, home prices have risen ~3.5X! As a result the NAR estimates that over 25 million homeowners have gains >$250K and over 8 million have gains >$500K. That’s a lot of people paying a lot of CGT if they sell — another incentive for them to just stay in their home.

TP: These exclusion amounts were large at the time. The goal was clear: ensure that most homeowners don’t have to pay capital gains taxes when they grow their family and upgrade to a bigger/nicer home. Although several proposals, like the ‘More Homes on the Market Act’ (which would double the exclusion amounts) are in Congress, they seem to be moving slowly.
