Why This Matters

The American Dream Act helps seniors by letting them sell their homes without facing taxes on the profits, making it easier for them to downsize or move. This bill encourages homeownership among younger buyers while supporting older homeowners.

If you are over 65 and sell your home to a first-time buyer, you could keep all the money you make from the sale.
Who this affects
