Key Issues on NAR Agenda for 2023 Legislative Meetings
May 11, 2023
In early April, NAR released the 2023 Talking Points for the 2023 REALTOR® Legislative Meetings, which are scheduled for May 6 -11. During these annual meetings, our national advocacy efforts will focus on improving access to homeownership, increasing housing Inventory, and streamlining affordable housing programs.
REALTOR® Priorities Include:
- Incentivize more owners to sell their homes by increasing the maximum amount of capital gains a homeowner can exclude on the sale of a principal residence.
- Attract private investment for building and rehabilitating owner-occupied homes.
- Incentivize the conversion of unused commercial buildings to residential and mixed-use properties.
- Create incentives for housing provider participation in the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.
