LA's Mansion Tax Sparks Rush to Sell High-End Homes.
TL;DR
A new mansion tax in Los Angeles will require sellers to pay 4% on sales of homes priced between $5 million and $10 million, and 5.5% on sales of properties at $10 million or above, starting April 1. This has put pressure on sellers to close deals before the deadline, causing a scramble in the real estate market.
