What The "Fiscal Cliff" Deal Means to LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA Homeowners
In light of the deal Congress and the President reached to avoid the "Fiscal Cliff", NAR has listed the following Issues Brief. This is just a summary of those things that pertain to us as REALTORS®. If your clients have a question about what this means to them, you should always direct them to their legal and financial counsels. However, this information is important for us to know as we guide them through their real estate transactions. Below the summary, I've posted a full copy of the bill.
On January 1 both the Senate and House passed H.R. 8, legislation to avert the “fiscal cliff.” The bill will be signed shortly by President Barack Obama.
Below are a summary of real estate related provisions in the bill.
