Hey, Kyle here with winthehouseyoulove.com.

Today we're talking about the $15,000 tax credit for first time home buyers that
[7]
the Biden administration is proposing.
[10]
So, currently, it looks like Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 election.
[16]
So they've, put their administration has put out a tax plan,
[20]
actually an entire housing plan.
[21]
I'm going to walk through that with you and what we know about it so far.
[24]
So the Biden administration is proposing a $640 billion fund for
[30]
housing over the next 10 years.
[32]
Okay.
[33]
So what this fund is aiming to do is take care of four main things.
[38]
Number one is red lining.
[39]
So they're, they're looking to, put money in to remove a lot of the
[44]
predatory practices that are still going on in the real estate industry.
[48]
Okay.
[48]
They also want to increase supply so 300 billion of the 640 billion is
[56]
going just towards increasing supply which is huge because we have super
[60]
limited supply right now, which is causing home prices to skyrocket.
[64]
So hopefully having this housing bill will actually help increase
[69]
supply and lower the cost of homes.
[72]
Also increasing energy efficiency and affordable housing.
[76]
And part of that affordable housing is increasing the supply as well.
[79]
They've also talked about increasing low income housing
[83]
and subsidies like that as well.
[86]
Now, some of the details are a little bit hazy as, since these are just kind of a
[89]
general proposals that the administration has put out, but an interesting approach
[93]
at least to see what's the potential for the next four years, if Biden
[98]
is confirmed as the 2020 president.
[102]
Okay.
[103]
So here's what we know so far.
[105]
What the Biden administration has said is that they'll give
[108]
a $15,000 up to a $15,000, tax credit for first time home buyers.
[113]
All right.
[113]
And the details are a little bit hazy.
[115]
This is just because it's a proposal of a transitioning administration.
[121]
But, the keyword here is they said "up to", so we're not entirely sure
[125]
it's going to be $15,000 or what kind of limit is going to happen.
[129]
After the housing crash in the Bush administration, there was a
[132]
$7,500 tax credit that was given.
[136]
Okay.
[136]
and it was actually 10% of the purchase price up to $7,500, the Obama
[142]
administration bumped that up to $8,000.
[145]
Okay.
[146]
So now we're seeing the Biden administration coming in and saying
[148]
$15,000, I accidentally added an extra zero there, $15,000.
[153]
Okay.
[154]
Now again, there's no clear details on who's eligible.
[158]
If it's only for first time home buyers, if there's a percentage
[161]
included with this, it's really hazy and they haven't ironed that out yet.
[165]
But a key detail here that has been explained is that in the Bush
[169]
administration, this tax credit was only given at tax filing.
[174]
So for instance, if you purchased a home in April, you wouldn't see
[178]
that tax credit until you filed your taxes at the end of the year.
[182]
Okay.
[182]
So you would've had to get that money up front and then receive the credit later.
[186]
But in the Biden administration, They have projected, that
[191]
they'll actually make those funds available at the time of purchase.
[193]
So you'd have those funds available when you actually purchase the home.
[197]
And with this, this is huge because you're not fronting the money because
[200]
it almost doesn't make sense if you're giving somebody a credit.
[202]
Because they, they need money for a down payment and closing costs, but
[206]
you're expecting them to front it and then you're going to give them
[208]
that money back later, most people don't have that money available.
[211]
So this money could be really helpful in stimulating the economy.
[215]
Now, the difficult part here is this would not do very well in our current market.
[223]
See, the huge problem with this is it could cause home prices to skyrocket.
[228]
And the reason why is because this is an incentive for more buyers to come to the
[231]
market home prices are already crazy high.
[233]
And the market's really competitive.
[235]
We're in a sellers market because we have low inventory.
[237]
So very few homes and a lot of buyers.
[240]
So attracting more buyers with a tax credit is not the smartest move.
[245]
So here's my anticipation is I anticipate the Biden administration
[250]
is expecting a correction, a market correction in the next four years.
[254]
Okay.
[255]
And we've talked about this on the channel before.
[257]
But we can see this blue line is a average rent affordability, and
[261]
this red is home affordability.
[262]
So we're currently up here.
[263]
There's this huge spread.
[265]
This 31% spread between affordabilities here.
[268]
Over the next four years, we anticipate a correction, right?
[273]
Housing markets and all markets in general go up and go down and go up and go down.
[278]
So since we're at the height here, we expect somewhere over the next four
[282]
years for this to trail back down.
[285]
And my anticipation is that the Biden administration probably has this
[289]
$15,000 tax credit, not to put out in the beginning, but possibly to put out
[294]
maybe year three or year four, when we see buyer demand to start slow down.
[300]
Then they can put the tax credit out, to stimulate demand a little bit more.
[305]
That's my assumption.
[306]
I'm not an economist, but that's what I'm guessing they're using or wanting to
[310]
propose this $15,000 for, but it's all wrapped up into this, this package that
[314]
they have, that's $640 billion going to all different aspects of housing.
[320]
Okay.
[320]
So we'll see if this pans out, if this is something that's
[322]
going to come to fruition.
[324]
Right now it's just talk.
[326]
It's just the proposal by the Biden administration.
[329]
Okay.
[329]
So if you want to learn more about closing costs, this video over here,
[334]
it's going to help you understand a little bit more of the costs that
[337]
are going in, and also I have a free download as a calculator for you so
[341]
you can estimate what those will be.
