In the most recent tax year, Californians accounted for just 3.54% of the state’s residential property tax revenue. That imbalance is now at the heart of one of the most sweeping property tax reforms in Montana history. A new law aims to ease the burden on full-time residents by shifting more of the tax load onto second-home owners—especially those with high-value properties: https://rltor.cm/cogxr5

Mortgage applications have decreased for the third consecutive week, dropping 3.9% from a week earlier, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The slide comes as mortgage rates saw another increase to 6.89% for the week ending May 29, according to Freddie Mac. The increase was fueled by rising 10-year Treasury yields after President Donald Trump supported a proposal to list the government-backed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae on the stock exchange.
