Congress recently passed the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act, and one of its big changes may directly affect you or those you involved in real estate and construction and acquisition.
The Act accelerates the expiration of the New Energy Efficient Home Credit, a valuable tax incentive originally set to run through 2032. Under the new law, this credit will now end on June 30, 2026 – a full six years earlier than expected.
Why this matters:
Homebuilders & Developers: Only projects sold or leased before June 30, 2026 will qualify. If you’re building energy-efficient homes, this shortens the timeline to capture benefits.
Real Estate Professionals: This is an important marketing opportunity—buyers may act sooner knowing the clock is ticking.
Homebuyers: If you’re considering a qualifying energy-efficient home, you’ll want to complete your purchase before mid-2026 to take advantage of the credit.
Now is the time to:
- Review current and upcoming projects.
- Accelerate timelines where possible.
- Incorporate this change into your marketing and sales strategies.
- Explore other tax incentives that may help fill the gap.
We’re here to help you adjust your plans and preserve tax savings while they’re still available.
