In this week’s episode of Real Estate Explained, host Nick Bush sits with mortgage broker Marcus Fields to break down the “Big Beautiful Bill” and what it means for buyers, sellers, and investors in 2025—especially in the DMV market.

They cover the bill’s three major housing provisions: restoring tax deductions for mortgage insurance (PMI), expanding low-income housing tax credits for builders, and increasing state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Nick and Marcus unpack how these changes could save you thousands, open up more housing opportunities, and shift market dynamics across the region.

You’ll also hear their takes on:

  • How to make PMI work in your favor (and even write it off)
  • Why new SALT deduction limits could boost higher-tax markets like McLean, Great Falls, and Bethesda
  • What expanded builder credits mean for affordable housing and community growth
  • The truth about interest rate trends—and why waiting for 2–3% rates isn’t the move
  • Actionable strategies for buyers, sellers, and investors to win in this evolving market

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or building your real estate portfolio, this episode will help you understand the new rules and how to use them to your advantage.
