This June, the Biden-Harris administration acknowledged the historic role that biased home valuations have played in limiting Black Americans’ wealth-building opportunities, releasing a fact sheet detailing how the administration plans to address this systemic racial bias. The plan reflects a call for action to confront a broader set of issues within the housing market and taxation system that intersect to uniquely affect Black communities. Black homeowners face inequities in our tax code and housing industry, unfair tax burdens, and a biased appraisal system—all of which undermining the potential of homeownership as a wealth-building tool for Black homebuyers. But structural reforms are possible, and they could help to build systems that grow—rather than extract—Black wealth.

In this piece, we explore the often overlooked and compounding racially discriminatory practices in the housing market and property taxation system, and how they limit wealth-building opportunities for Black homeowners. We also explore how the current housing market allows white homebuyers’ preferences to dictate the racial makeup of residential communities and the extent to which Black homebuyers can gain equity from their home. These issues underscore that the Biden-Harris administration must remain committed to addressing the layered practices of discrimination and promote policies that empower Black homeowners to build generational wealth.

Housing and tax policy penalize Black homeowners and widen the racial wealth gap

Twentieth-century discriminatory housing policies and practices are indisputably responsible for segregating America’s residential communities and contributing to existing racial wealth disparities. Tax law and practice aggravate these effects and place a disproportionately heavy financial and oftentimes emotional burden on the average Black homeowner. So, while public conversations about how to close the racial wealth gap often focus on the importance of homeownership, they overlook the impact of the property tax system—particularly, property valuation mechanisms—on the Black homeownership experience.

Property assessments and appraisals are two different estimations of a home’s value, conducted at two different times. Their contribution to the improper valuation of Black-owned homes—through both over-assessment and under-valuation—have caused Black homeowners to lose money by way of monthly property tax payments and at the time of sale. This burden is a reflection of America’s disinvestment in, devaluation of, and disrespect for predominantly Black neighborhoods. It also reveals a penalty that housing institutions and legal frameworks place on Black homeowners—a penalty that will only grow more harmful if we continue to try to address it with ahistorical, race-neutral solutions.

Today, median white household wealth sits at $187,300, compared to just $14,100 for Black households. And while 72.7% of white Americans are homeowners, only 44% of Black Americans are. These extreme racial disparities in wealth and homeownership signify a chasm in access to homeownership and the opportunities and privileges it affords. As outlined in a 2017 report, home equity is the largest segment in most U.S. families’ wealth portfolio. However, Black and Latino or Hispanic families are less likely to own their homes and accrue less wealth through homeownership than white families. According to the Census Bureau’s 2019 Survey of Income and Program Participation, the median wealth for renters was $4,084, compared to $125,500 for homeowners (excluding home equity).

Although homeownership is thought to exemplify the American dream, our tax laws are designed such that homeowners in Black-majority communities don’t always see that dream realized as home equity. Empowering Black people and their communities requires housing and tax reforms that affirm their historically unrecognized value.

The US tax system protects accumulated wealth, creating a barrier to homeownership for lower-income, low-wealth households

For decades, researchers have shown that qualifying for homeownership is a sizeable financial challenge due to the large upfront costs. Many prospective buyers need financial assistance or must save for years to make a down payment, whereas others can rely on intergenerational wealth transfers to fund their purchase of a home.

White college-educated households are more likely to receive a financial gift of over $10,000 from family members than Black college-educated households: 32% versus 9%, respectively. Moreover, the average gift to white households is significantly larger than the average gift to Black households: $235,353 versus $65,755, respectively. In white families, wealth transfers are more likely to flow from parent to child or grandparent to grandchild; yet in Black families, wealth transfers are more likely to flow in the opposite direction.

Now, consider that the U.S. tax code provides additional relief to prospective buyers whose families have excess capital to gift them. The code enables a grantor to gift up to $17,000 without having to report the transfer on the IRS gift tax return form, and the grantee does not have to pay taxes on it or report it (unless it comes from a foreign source).

Such financial gifts are powerful in that they provide white families with a head start to wealth-building through homeownership. They also allow wealth to accumulate across generations in ways that it does not for Black families due to family structure and lack of access to excess capital.

Property tax assessments and valuations are biased against Black homeowners

The average Black homeowner faces a disproportionally higher property tax burden than the average white homeowner. In the U.S., property taxes are supposed to be based on the value of the home; however, researchers at Indiana University concluded that nationwide, tax assessors often over-assess Black-owned homes relative to their market value. Consequently, the local property tax applied to the over-assessed value of Black-owned homes is 10% to 13% higher than for white-owned homes.

Conversely, property assessments for white-owned homes are often closer to the home’s market value. Ultimately, Black homeowners end up paying a higher property tax bill than they should because the value of their home has been over-estimated compared to what it will sell for. White homeowners, on the other hand, pay a more accurate property tax bill because their home value estimations are often closer to the actual sales price.

Similarly, Brookings research has shown that real estate appraisers often undervalue Black-owned homes by 21% to 23%, which lowers the price a home is likely to be sold for. The over-assessment of Black-owned homes is the fault of tax assessors (81.3% of whom are white), whereas the undervaluation of Black-owned homes is the fault of licensed professional appraisers (99% of whom are white). These discrepancies demonstrate deep flaws in the two mechanisms the housing industry uses to determine “value” and present a real barrier to wealth-building for Black homeowners.

Data suggests that Black homeowners’ ability to gain wealth through homeownership is also largely dependent upon the housing preferences of white Americans. Whereas Black people prefer to live in neighborhoods where the majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities, white people prefer to live in communities with very low Black populations. Further, homes in white neighborhoods are appraised at three times the value of homes in communities of color, and, over the last decade, homes in white neighborhoods appreciated $200,000 more on average than similar homes in communities of color. Data also shows that homes lose approximately 16% of their value once the neighborhood’s population of Black residents reaches 10%.

Therefore, Black people have the highest likelihood of building wealth through homeownership when they purchase in predominantly white neighborhoods, where homes are more likely to appreciate, but where they are also severely outnumbered by white residents. The experience of Black homeowners in choosing where to live is heavily influenced by white preferences, which limits potential opportunities for Black Americans to build wealth.

Identifying equitable solutions for Black wealth-building through homeownership

The many racial biases within the housing market are often addressed as individual challenges rather than compounding factors that work together to undermine Black wealth. Despite numerous legislative efforts to combat racial discrimination in housing, racially biased practices are still prevalent and utilized by private actors, lenders, property tax assessors, and property appraisers.

The disproportionately heavy tax burden alongside racialized home appreciation and wealth transfer disparities reveal that our federal, state, and local tax policies and housing industry penalize Black neighborhoods and their residents. At its core, this penalty is rooted in systemic racism and negative perceptions of Blackness enforced by our legal system. In fact, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, in their historic official texts, advocated for appraisal practices that viewed an influx of racial and ethnic diversity as lessening the desirability of a neighborhood and contributing to the lowering of home values.

Access to wealth-building homeownership should exist in every neighborhood, and a Black homeowner’s ability to build wealth should not be based on the subjective perceptions of white professionals or the preferences of white homebuyers. Furthermore, using homeownership to close the racial wealth gap—which was estimated to sit at $10.14 trillion—requires that the burden to eliminate wealth inequality in America no longer be placed on Black homeowners as individuals, but the factors that created it in the first place. After all, Black people created America’s wealth, not its wealth gap.

Today, Black Americans are trying to play “catch up” to others that have been afforded the necessary conditions to build wealth for generations. While many Black homeowners have achieved upward social mobility, the tax code and housing industry do not empower them like it does for white homeowners. Attempting to close the racial wealth gap by encouraging Black Americans to pursue homeownership—assuming that it will benefit them in the same way it has white Americans—is a hollow hope because of the inequities within the broader housing market. Moreover, it places an undue burden on prospective Black homebuyers to do alone what white people have done with significant government assistance that explicitly excluded Black Americans. Accordingly, reforms must be made to finally acknowledge and cement the value that has always existed in Black communities.

To combat the racial wealth gap, Dorothy Brown, Georgetown Law Professor and author of “The Whiteness of Wealth,” proposed a wealth-based refundable tax credit for taxpayers whose wealth falls below the median of approximately $100,000. Brown has acknowledged that although the tax credit is not targeted directly at Black taxpayers, a disproportionate share of taxpayers that fall below median wealth are Black (83%). Thus, an initiative of this sort is likely to withstand legal challenges because it is directed toward a socioeconomic class rather than a racial group.

The U.S. tax code is somewhat “progressive,” although Brookings research has shown that it has become less so over the last five decades. Irrespective of income level, the tax code is structured to reward existing wealth, predominantly held by white households. Creating a wealth tax credit might be a sizable legislative challenge, but one worth fighting for given its potential impact on Black communities and its ability to economically empower those with the lowest levels of wealth.

In addition to proposing a wealth-based refundable tax credit, Brown has also advocated for introducing a “living allowance” deduction. In this, taxpayers would receive a deduction or fixed amount of money that could be subtracted from their taxable income (reducing the amount of taxes owed) based on their cost of living. If they earned more money than the living allowance, they would pay taxes on the excess amount at a progressive rate; if they earned less, they would receive a check from the government. This is different from the current system in that it would tax all income and remove all deductions and exclusions in the tax code, which primarily benefit wealthy white taxpayers.

Lastly, greater transparency would also help address the root causes of the wealth gap. Brown has called for the public release of IRS tax data by race to more easily identify discriminatory tax policies. All of these proposed reforms seek to level the playing field for Black taxpayers and mitigate the advantage the tax code currently provides to wealthy white taxpayers.

These changes to the tax code should be supported by complementary policy. One suggestion is the baby bonds program proposed by economist Darrick Hamilton and William Darity, Jr. Through this program, the government would create and manage investment accounts for infants, providing them with grants based on their family’s wealth. The account would grow at a guaranteed annual rate, and upon reaching adulthood, the child could use the money for higher education, a startup, or a down payment on a home. This program has the potential to support low-wealth families in the same way financial gifts empower high-wealth families, again with a high likelihood of disproportionately benefiting Back families.

We need structural changes in taxation and housing to make wealth-building through homeownership a reality for more Black homebuyers

Ultimately, removing the influence of white subjectivity on the mechanisms that determine the value of Black communities, people, and assets is imperative to building Black wealth. It is unreasonable and unjust to expect Black Americans alone to close the racial wealth gap through homeownership, especially if solutions to closing the gap continue to rely on the subjective beliefs of white Americans and a housing industry that is still rife with racial bias.

The current systems we use to measure the value of Black homes invite racial biases that influence home value estimations and, ultimately, the market value of Black-owned property. Changing property tax assessment procedures by regulating government-appointed assessors and standardizing assessment procedures so that they are based on the characteristics and quality of a home as opposed to its proximity to Black people would be an effective way to remove biases that lead to the over-assessment of Black homes and the subsequent higher taxation of Black homeowners.

We must confront the inequities in our tax code and housing industry, remove the disparate tax burden from Black homeowners, and make wealth-building through homeownership a reality for more prospective Black homebuyers. The racial wealth gap is not an accident—it is a policy failure rooted in white supremacy and enshrined in biased policy mechanisms that punish low-income and Black communities. Until we acknowledge this truth, the dream of opportunity, economic success, and well-being for many Black Americans will remain deferred.

Community Development for Native Hawaiians

When Barbee and Watson teamed up to develop solutions for the Native Hawaiian housing crisis, they agreed that affordable rentals were the best way to address the needs of the community. Using various government sources, Barbee secured tens of millions of dollars in funding for affordable housing developments for Native Hawaiians. Today, she is the Senior Vice President of the Hawaiian Community Development Board (HCDB). You can get A vision for the people of this website.

Since its inception in 2000, the HCDB has created low-income rental housing projects in several communities in Hawaii. Its headquarters are located in Honolulu, but the organization is active in all parts of the state. The company's seven-member board includes all native Hawaiian members. Currently, the organization is working on new community projects. In addition to its development work, it also provides financial counseling to its Nanakuli homestead residents.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, HCDB is committed to creating and maintaining affordable housing for the Native Hawaiian community. With the help of a local lending institution, it has helped more than 75% of the homestead's current tenants with mortgages and loans.

Among the services offered by HCDB is financial education for young Native Hawaiians, homeownership and rent-to-own programs, and community development. Through its subsidiary, the GSI Family of Companies, the company has completed numerous complex projects across the US mainland, Alaska, and the Pacific. This includes a central "village center" project, which will include an affordable rental housing project as well as commercial retail spaces.

A recent survey from the University of California, San Diego found that almost one-fourth of American Indian and Alaska Native households live in poverty. Nearly 16% of those households are in overcrowded conditions. These households experience a lack of accurate data, making it difficult to effectively target policy and program initiatives. While Native communities have had their share of hardship and displacement, they have also drawn on traditional practices and values to build a more sustainable future.

The Navajo Nation Community Health Representative Outreach Program seeks to address structural barriers to health in Native communities. The program uses tribal outreach workers to provide high-risk clients with home-based health care.

Other services provided by the HCDB include cultural preservation and educational opportunities for Native Hawaiians. It also partners with the Aloha United Way, which brings together individuals, businesses, and organizations to create a strong foundation for the Hawaiian community.

HCDB's pono approach to development is refreshing, especially when the world around us has so often put profits before people. To further improve the quality of its work, it has adopted a higher standard when it comes to the environment and the historic significance of its developments. Additionally, the organization hires Natives to complete impact statements.

There are many challenges facing urban Indian communities. For example, 78 percent of American Indians and Alaska Natives live off tribal lands, and about a third are poor. Approximately a fifth of the Native population is on the homestead list waiting for housing. Although the solution for this 100-year-old problem has been addressed at the state level, there are still many barriers. Check out this blog to get enlightened on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_development.

Pathway to Homeownership: A Holistic Guide for First-Time Buyers

Becoming a homeowner is a monumental achievement that signifies stability, investment in the future, and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for many. However, the journey can seem daunting for first-time buyers, filled with uncertainty and unfamiliar territory. To provide comprehensive support and guidance, we've crafted a holistic guide explicitly tailored for first-time buyers. This guide will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of the real estate market, empowering you to make informed decisions and confidently embark on your homeownership journey.

Assessing Your Financial Landscape

Before delving into the homebuying process, a thorough assessment of your financial situation is essential. Start by evaluating your income, savings, debts, and credit score. Understanding your financial standing will help you determine how much you can spend on a home and set a realistic budget. Consider factors such as your monthly expenses, future financial goals, and emergency savings when determining your purchasing power.

Securing Pre-Approval for a Mortgage

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is a crucial step in home buying. This involves submitting your financial information to a lender, who will assess your creditworthiness and provide a conditional commitment for a loan amount. A pre-approval letter gives you a clear idea of your budget and demonstrates to sellers that you're a serious buyer, enhancing your credibility and bargaining power.

Defining Your Homebuying Criteria

With your finances in order, it's time to define your homebuying criteria. List your must-have features and preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, location, and amenities. Be sure to prioritize your needs over wants and remain flexible during your home search. Remember that compromise may be necessary, especially in a competitive market.

Researching Neighborhoods and Communities

Choosing the right neighborhood is just as important as finding the perfect home. Research different neighborhoods and communities to find one that aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and budget. Consider factors such as schools, safety, amenities, and property values. Take the time to explore neighborhoods in person to get a feel for the area's atmosphere and community dynamics.

Partnering with a Knowledgeable Real Estate Professional

Working with a seasoned real estate professional can significantly simplify home buying and alleviate stress. Look for an agent with experience working with first-time buyers who understands your unique needs and concerns. Your agent will serve as your advocate, guiding you through the market, negotiating offers, and providing valuable insights and advice.

Exploring Mortgage Options and Understanding Your Budget First-time buyers have various mortgage options, including terms, requirements, and benefits. Take the time to explore your options and find the right fit for your financial situation and goals. When evaluating mortgage programs, consider factors such as interest rates, loan terms, down payment requirements, and closing costs. Be sure to clearly understand your budget and financial limits to avoid overextending yourself.

Being Prepared to Compromise

In a competitive real estate market, it's essential to be flexible and open to compromise. You may only find a home that meets some of your criteria, so be prepared to prioritize your needs and compromise on less critical features. Remember that no home is perfect; you can make updates and renovations to personalize your space with time.

Conducting a Thorough Home Inspection

A home inspection is a critical step in the homebuying process, as it can uncover hidden issues that may not be apparent during a walkthrough. Hire a qualified home inspector to assess the property's condition and identify potential concerns or red flags. Review the inspection report carefully and address any significant findings with your real estate agent and lender before purchasing.

Planning for the Future

As a first-time homebuyer, it is essential to think long-term and consider how homeownership fits your overall financial plan. When choosing a home, consider job stability, family size, and future goals. Ensure that the property aligns with your lifestyle and has the potential to meet your needs both now and in the years to come.

Celebrating Your Achievement and Embracing Homeownership

Finally, as you close the deal and move into your new home, take a moment to celebrate your achievement. Homeownership is a significant milestone worth commemorating. Embrace the journey ahead and take pride in owning a place you can call your own. Remember that homeownership comes with responsibilities but also brings countless rewards and opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment.

Embarking on the journey to homeownership as a first-time buyer can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. However, armed with the proper knowledge, guidance, and support, you can navigate the process with confidence and success. By following the steps outlined in this comprehensive guide, you'll be well-equipped to make informed decisions and achieve your goal of owning a home. Welcome to the pathway to homeownership – your journey begins now.

Navigating House Refinance Interest Rates: Unveiling the Best Home Mortgage Companies

In the realm of homeownership, the ebb and flow of house refinance interest rates can significantly impact your financial landscape. As you contemplate refinancing your home, it's crucial to understand how these rates fluctuate and, more importantly, how to secure the best deal from reputable home mortgage companies.

Understanding House Refinance Interest Rates

House refinance interest rates are influenced by a myriad of factors, including economic indicators, inflation rates, and the decisions of central banks. These rates dictate the cost of borrowing money to refinance your home, ultimately shaping your monthly mortgage payments and overall financial well-being.

Amidst this dynamic landscape, homeowners often find themselves seeking refuge in the expertise of home mortgage companies. These entities specialize in navigating the complexities of the housing market, offering tailored solutions to suit individual needs. Whether you're aiming to lower your monthly payments or tap into your home's equity, finding the right mortgage company is paramount.

Choosing the Right Home Mortgage Company

With a plethora of options available, selecting the right home mortgage company can seem daunting. However, by focusing on key criteria such as reputation, expertise, and customer service, you can narrow down your choices effectively.

Look for home mortgage companies with a proven track record of reliability and trustworthiness. Customer reviews and testimonials can offer valuable insights into the experiences of past clients, helping you gauge the company's reputation accurately. Additionally, seek out companies with extensive experience in the industry, as their knowledge and expertise can be instrumental in securing favorable refinance terms.

Furthermore, prioritize companies that prioritize customer service and communication. A transparent and responsive approach to client interactions can make the refinancing process smoother and more manageable, providing you with peace of mind every step of the way.

Securing the Best Deal

Once you've identified prospective home mortgage companies it's time to delve into the intricacies of securing the best deal. Start by comparing interest rates and loan terms offered by different lenders, taking into account any associated fees or closing costs. While low-interest rates may seem enticing, be sure to consider the overall cost of the loan over its entire duration.

Moreover, don't overlook the importance of personalized guidance and support throughout the refinancing process. A reputable home mortgage company will offer expert advice tailored to your specific financial situation, helping you make informed decisions that align with your long-term goals.

In Conclusion

Navigating house refinance interest rates requires a strategic approach and a keen understanding of the housing market. By partnering with a reputable home mortgage company, you can access the expertise and resources needed to secure the best possible deal. From exploring refinancing options to finalizing loan terms, your chosen mortgage company will serve as a trusted ally every step of the way.

🏙️ Motor City's Rise: Detroit Emerges as a Build-to-Rent Powerhouse

Detroit, once known for its decline, has undergone a remarkable transformation. With an astounding 81% growth in build-to-rent houses from 2019 to 2023, the city now proudly claims the title of the nation's 5th top metro for new build-to-rent homes. Let's dive into the factors driving this resurgence and explore the potential of Detroit's real estate market.

The Build-to-Rent Boom

A Shift in Housing Preferences

Traditionally, homeownership was the ultimate goal for most Americans. However, changing demographics and lifestyle preferences have shifted the landscape. Many individuals, especially millennials and Gen Z, are opting for flexibility and convenience. They want the benefits of homeownership without the long-term commitment.

Build-to-rent (BTR) homes cater to this demand. These purpose-built rental properties offer the best of both worlds: the amenities and quality associated with homeownership, combined with the flexibility of renting. Residents enjoy modern designs, communal spaces, and professional management—all without the burden of maintenance and property taxes.

Detroit's Rise

Detroit, once synonymous with industrial decline, is now a beacon of opportunity. Here's why:

1. Affordability: Detroit's housing market remains affordable compared to other major cities. BTR homes provide an attractive option for those seeking quality housing without breaking the bank.

2. Job Growth: The city has experienced job growth across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and automotive. As employment opportunities increase, so does the demand for housing.

3. Urban Revitalization: Detroit's downtown and surrounding neighborhoods have seen significant revitalization efforts. Abandoned buildings are being repurposed, and new developments are sprouting up. The city's vibrancy is drawing residents back.

4. Investor Interest: Real estate investors recognize Detroit's potential. They're investing in BTR properties, contributing to the city's housing boom.

Unlocking Detroit's Potential

Community Engagement

To sustain this growth, community engagement is crucial. Local governments, developers, and residents must collaborate to create thriving neighborhoods. Initiatives like neighborhood cleanups, public art installations, and community events foster a sense of pride and ownership.

Infrastructure Investment

Investing in infrastructure—roads, public transportation, and utilities—ensures that Detroit can accommodate its growing population. Smart urban planning will enhance connectivity and accessibility.

Sustainability

Detroit's resurgence should be sustainable. Prioritizing green spaces, energy-efficient buildings, and eco-friendly practices will contribute to a healthier, more resilient city.

Conclusion

Detroit's rise as a build-to-rent powerhouse is a testament to its resilience and adaptability. As the Motor City continues to evolve, it offers valuable lessons for other cities seeking revitalization. Whether you're an investor, a resident, or simply curious, keep an eye on Detroit—it's a city on the move! 🚀
