How Does the Big Beautiful Bill Affect Home Buying in MA and NH?
Ah, the “Big Beautiful Bill”—sounds like something out of a fairy tale, doesn’t it? But this recent tax mega-bill, passed just last week, is very real and packs a punch for home buyers in high-tax havens like Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Let’s break it down, shall we? No crystal balls here, just solid impacts on your next closing adventure.
First off, the bill cranks up the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap from $10,000 to a whopping $40,000. In states like MA and NH, where property taxes can feel like a dragon hoarding gold, this means buyers can shield more of those taxes from Uncle Sam. For instance, homeowners could save thousands annually, making that dream house a tad more affordable without stretching the budget to fairy-tale proportions
Then there’s the expanded mortgage interest deduction, allowing folks to deduct interest on larger loans. This tweak benefits high-end buyers and real estate pros by trimming the effective cost of borrowing, especially in pricey markets like Boston or the Seacoast.
For Granite Staters in NH, where property taxes reign supreme, that SALT boost is like finding an extra room in your new home—pure relief for middle-income families.
In MA, with its blend of high property and income taxes, the changes could mean an average tax cut, helping first-timers edge into the market
