Will the Loss of a Tax Deduction on Home Mortgage Interest Affect Market Value?
by Administrator on Nov 3, 2017 • Market Conditions Articles • 1211 Views
The current proposal to do away with the mortgage interest deduction on homes purchased in the future may negatively affect the market value of homes. Home buyers in the Las Vegas area are spending $ 300,000 or more to purchase a new home and most have only 10% to 20% down, so their mortgages are substantial. A buyer who is going to take on that new say $ 250,000 plus dollar mortgage has in the past expected an annual interest deduction of around $ 10,000.

Short of visiting the property before bidding, which would bcostly, the Assessor’s information is useful. I often have to explain to potential clients that my assignment fees relate to the number of hours that it takes me to complete an assignment it has nothing to do with value. It could happen that a 300 acre vacant land parcel with a $ 30 Million market value has an appraisal assignment fee that is lower than that required for a 5,000 SF retail or office building on a 1 acre site with a $ 1,000,000 market value.
