If this Cap is allowed to expire, I would think that there will be a rush to take advantage of it.That should increase demand for higher priced Homes because the Standard Deduction gets reduced significantly AND you can go way above the Standard Deduction by Itemizing the SALT Deductions.If your comps are Single Family Homes and/or small Multi-Family that can convert to an Owner Occupied (think BRRRR here), it is well should rise in value as the Federal Tax deduction lowers the monthly payments for every homeowner with a large Mortgage that also pays State and Local Taxes. too funny I had not thought of the Salt deductions in years and today it popped into my mind then you post this.. very true for high priced markets this will be a huge bene
