The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) of 2025 impacts home buying by making mortgage interest deductions permanent (capped at $750k), permanently allowing the deduction of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) for low-down-payment buyers, and increasing the supply of affordable housing through enhanced tax credits.
