There is a rumor going around.  Perhaps one of the Realtors that posts here can clear it up for us with the facts:
Is it true that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? 
Supposedly, this is a provision of the Healthcare Act, and it does not take effect until 2013 so that it will not become widely known until after the 2012 presidential election.
Is this true???

More goodness coming from obamacare wasn't it nancy pelosi that said that they have to pass the healthcare bill se we can see whats in it? What a bunch of fruit cakes and very slick to make it take effect till after 2012,and oh yea if you belong to a union you will probaby be able to opt.out of this new tax.Wink I hope this isn't true and if it is true that people remember who cramed obama care down our throats when voting in 2012.

And Snopes delivers the truth: http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp - http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp

It's 3.8% tax on all capital gains (real estate or otherwise) over $250k per individual or $500k per couple. For most folks who don't deal with capital gains on their taxes, it would probably only relate to selling your home.

But since you'd have to sell your home for a profit of MORE than $250k/$500k (individual/couple), it will probably never apply to anyone living in our fair city...at least not for a long time.
