Requires new residential construction sellers to inform buyers of any price increase caused by tariffs on building materials
This bill requires sellers of new residential homes (first-time sales of newly constructed single-family, multi-family, or condo units) to disclose any price increases directly caused by federal tariffs on building materials like steel or lumber. Sellers must provide a clear "tariff cost estimate" in all property listings, marketing materials, and purchase contracts, showing how tariff-related costs affected the price. It applies only to new construction sold for the first time, excluding mobile homes, rental properties, or previously sold units. The disclosure must appear as an itemized line alongside taxes and fees in all sales documentation. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
