Pierre Debbas on Varney & Co. walks through the real impact of a proposed pied-à-terre tax: buyers will factor it into their offers, putting downward pressure on pricing.

The bigger issue is long-term. In a market where development is already costly, policies like this risk discouraging new projects and limiting housing supply.

If the goal is growth, the focus should be on incentivizing development, not adding new taxes that barely move the revenue needle.

Pierre Debbas appeared on “The Brian Kilmeade Show” discussing NYC’s proposed pied-à-terre tax, a levy on second homes over $5M that he argues is more symbolic than substantive, projecting ~$500M in revenue against a multi-billion-dollar budget gap.

He warned that while framed as a “tax on the rich,” the policy could deter long-term investment and reduce broader economic activity, outweighing its intended benefit.

Pierre additionally highlighted the risk of driving away major economic contributors, including billionaire Ken Griffin and firms like Citadel, which is advancing an anticipated $6B Manhattan office tower development—underscoring the importance of policies that support, rather than discourage, growth and investment in NYC.

As Jonathan Helfer, Esq. clarifies, there is currently no reporting obligation in effect, and buyer anonymity remains unchanged as disclosures are non-public.

Note that some title companies continue to collect information in anticipation of possible reinstatement, including retroactive application.
