New at 6 00 bay area homebuyers would face a financial hit if the republican tax reform proposal becomes law. Republican lawmakers want to cap the mortgage Interest Deduction at 500,000. Under existing law people can claim a deduction on home loans up to 1 million. Kpix5s kiet do did some math today and what did you find out . Reporter yeah, the consensus amongst the realtors here in the south bay that is this is a raw deal for homeowners in california, but just how much money are we talking about here thats going to come out of your wallet . Well take a look. Well, i was shocked. Its certainly pretty bad. Reporter we asked real estate and Tax Professionals to run the numbers from the gop tax proposals and for homebuyers in california it was ugly. The big changes . Capping mortgage Interest Deductions at 500,000 of the loan amount and capping property Tax Deductions at 10,000. In the first column we see the median price of 1 million. Reporter jeff bell is past president of the Silicon Valley realtors association. Bell crunched the numbers for a typical 1 million house in the south bay.

Reporter this typical upper class Silicon Valley family is paying 57,000 in federal taxes. Compare that to the gop plan with no personal exemptions and flat tax rate of 35 and the tax bill jumps up to nearly 93,000. Whats more, the gop plan also eliminates another big deduction, state income tax payment. It could potentially be quite painful because we have one of the highest income tax rates in the entire country. Reporter Gustavo Gonzalez is the incoming president of the Santa Clara County association of realtors and says the new tax plan is political payback for a blue state like california. Look at the numbers. I mean we are punished because our housing is very expensive. I mean thats not fair to any californian thats having to buy an averaged price home of 1. 1 million. It doesnt make any sense. Reporter if this plan passes, it would only affect new home sales moving forward. Existing mortgages will be grandfathered in and untouched. Realtors think this will have a Chilling Effect on home sales. Why would you want to sell your house and get back into the market and put yourself in a worse financial situation .
