Everything else stimulates the local econony.

There is a letter that was sent to the campaign which refers to an analysis:Letter: https://www.1031taxreform.com/fea-sends-letter-to-biden-campaign-regarding-the-importance-of-like-kind-exchanges-in-stimulating-the-economy/Analysis: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/former-vice-president-bidens-tax-plan-march-2020/t20-0074-former-vice-presidentThe analysis makes mention of "certain tax preferences for the real estate industry," which one can assume is 1031 exchanges, but might also be depreciation, TPR, changes to passive income treatment, etc., but cites no sources.   

We also offer a limited listing for $500 for 6 months to our sophisticated sellers, but that's largely just a way to try to help stimulate more inventory to market and hopefully a way to get the jump on properties for our buyer clients. 

This is done to mitigate a down economy, to stimulate.

And I am not saying you should lower it to $180, but if you are looking to get it sold and you lowered it to $189 that would probably stimulate a lot of interest.  

The govt has been artificially stimulating the economy through QE for a long time.
