💡 Tips For Homeowners
How the One Big Beautiful Bill Helps Homeowners
The new One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is now law, and it brings several benefits that directly impact homeowners across North Atlanta. Here are a few highlights worth knowing:
Mortgage Interest Deduction Protection
Homeowners in places like East Cobb or Alpharetta, where prices often exceed $700,000, will see lasting savings. The deduction on mortgages up to $750,000 is now permanently protected, which means more money stays in your pocket year after year.
Bigger SALT Deductions
The State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction has been raised from $10,000 to $40,000 for the next five years. High-income households in Cobb, Cherokee, and North Fulton stand to benefit the most, but this change helps many families keep more of what they earn.
Stable Tax Rates
The personal income tax rates from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are now permanent. That stability makes it easier to plan long-term, whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or simply staying put.
Future Buyer Boost
Parents of children born between 2025–2028 can now contribute to tax-free savings accounts that can later be used for education or even a down payment on a home.
Quick Tip: Talk with your tax advisor about how these changes apply to your situation, especially if you’re considering refinancing, upgrading, or selling.
