So there's something right now they're trying, they introduced to Congress, which is to change the way you're taxed on the sale of your primary residence. So right now, if you sell your primary residence and you take all that money and you buy another house, there's no tax liability." - Greg Wareham💡 "if there's one thing the market hates, it's extreme volatility and people are uncertain as to whether or not we're going into a recession, whether or not the economy's healthy and there's mixed signals from both sides of the aisle. And as a result of that, you've seen some swings in interest rates." - Greg WarehamThanks for listening!
