Occurrences

The Make the American Dream Real Again Act would allow home sellers to redirect their capital-gains-tax liability toward a first-time buyer’s down payment, inspection costs, or closing expenses. In exchange, the seller would receive a tax credit equal to that contribution, reducing or eliminating their capital-gains-tax burden.

Burlison introduced legislation to create a tax credit tied to first-time homebuyer acquisition costs.

Evidence

The House site says Burlison introduced the Make the American Dream Real Again Act and describes it as legislation to lower barriers to homeownership and help first-time buyers enter an increasingly unaffordable market.

Recent official House evidence shows Burlison took a concrete legislative step on homeownership, but it does not yet prove enactment of the specific refundable homebuyer tax credit.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Burlison appears to have made a real legislative attempt on homeownership through the Make the American Dream Real Again Act, but the evidence does not show enactment of the specific promise to create a refundable federal tax credit for qualified home acquisition expenses. Under the timing rules, this is an unsuccessful in-term effort rather than delivered or partial fulfillment.
