Court clears path for Mamdani pied-à-terre tax rollout in NYC

An appellate court lifts the stay on New York City's pied-à-terre luxury-home tax rollout, allowing the surcharge to proceed while the homeowners' challenge continues; a lower court had blocked the program, but the city argues that filing an appeal triggers an automatic stay and seeks permission to move forward, with Aug. 31 set for permanent relief and projected revenue of at least $500 million through FY 2028 from about 17,000 potentially affected properties.

Three NYC homeowners sue over messy pied-à-terre tax rollout

Three NYC homeowners filed suit in Staten Island Supreme Court to delay the city’s pied-à-terre tax rollout, arguing Mayor Mamdani’s administration bungled the process by publishing a near‑million-property list and mailing 17,000 exemption notices, forcing residents to prove residency; the suit seeks an emergency injunction to scrub the list and void notices while the law (for luxury second homes over $5 million, or condos/co-ops over $1 million that are unoccupied) is challenged, and comes as the exemption deadline was extended to Sept. 18.

Florida daughter fights HOA bid to remove her from inherited 55-plus community

A 28-year-old Florida woman inherited her father’s home in a Jacksonville 55-plus retirement community and says the HOA is suing to force her out, asking 155 residents on fixed incomes to contribute a $1,000 special assessment to fund the legal fight. The HOA covenant requires at least one occupant 55 or older, but ownership transfer is allowed under certain rules, and she says she was grandfathered in before her father’s death. Michel has faced restricted access to amenities during the dispute, which underscores tensions around age-restricted housing and the use of assessments to bankroll HOA litigation.

Reforming Home Sale Taxes to Support Senior Homeowners and Boost the Housing Market

Joel and Kathryn Friedman, a retired couple in California, are hesitant to sell their large home due to potential $700,000 in capital gains taxes, which has delayed their downsizing plans. The current tax threshold has not changed since 1997, leading to more homeowners being taxed as home prices rise. Proposed bipartisan reforms aim to increase the tax exemption, potentially encouraging more home sales and easing housing shortages, especially in expensive markets like California.

Potential End of Capital Gains Tax Could Benefit Homeowners Nationwide

Many older homeowners in the US are discouraged from selling their homes due to the capital gains tax, which may be contributing to a housing shortage. There is bipartisan support in Congress to reform or eliminate this tax to increase housing inventory, with some proposing to double the exemption thresholds. However, experts warn that such changes could have unintended consequences, including rising home prices and increased federal costs, and may disproportionately benefit wealthier Americans.

Trump Considers Eliminating Capital Gains Tax on Home Sales

President Trump has suggested considering the elimination of capital gains taxes on home sales, which could benefit homeowners with significant gains, especially long-term owners in high-value markets. Currently, exemptions allow up to $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (married) in gains tax-free, but inflation and rising home prices mean more homeowners may face taxes. If enacted, this change could favor wealthier, long-term homeowners, particularly in expensive markets, and potentially influence housing market dynamics.

Homeowner-to-Renter Firm Closes Suddenly

EasyKnock, a real estate company known for its controversial sale-leaseback deals, has abruptly shut down, leaving many homeowners who sold their properties to the company in financial uncertainty. The company, which allowed homeowners to sell their homes and remain as renters, faces numerous lawsuits and investigations over claims of unfair practices. The closure raises questions about the viability of the sale-leaseback model, as many homeowners, like Randee Noggle, struggle to repurchase their homes under the terms of these agreements.
