Conference Committee Tax Legislation Unveiled
From NAR President Elizabeth Mendenhall:
"We remain concerned that the overall structure of this bill poses problems for homeowners and the broader housing market, but the conference committee has made some important improvements to the House and Senate legislation that ultimately will benefit some homeowners and communities. We are particularly pleased with the treatment of capital gains on the sale of a home and the preservation of deductions for second homes. We are also grateful that the positive changes for commercial real estate and real estate professionals from the Senate bill have survived."

Just Say NO! Rate Bureau Wants Rate Hike-Again!
 
(WILMINGTON, NC) - On November 20th, the NC Rate Bureau sent a request to the NC Department of Insurance, requesting approval to increase homeowner insurance rates an average of 18.7 percent.
 
"We oppose this because rates are already too high," said CEO Taylor Oldroyd. "Coastal property owners are hit with high homeowner rates, plus separate policies for wind and hail, and many are also required to have flood insurance. These multiple policies do not reflect the actual risk, and instead an inflated risk, and this needs to be remedied, as an issue of fairness, and it dramatically impacts housing affordability."
 
As the largest professional association in the eastern half of the state with 2,500 dues-paying members, CFR is asking all members to send an email to the Insurance Commissioner urging denial of the Rate Bureau request.
 
Emails should be sent to:
2017HomeInsurance@ncdoi.gov on or before December 29th.  Homeowners and area residents are also encouraged to send comments to the Commissioner.
