The Republican tax bill passed Congress on Wednesday, and President Donald Trump signed it into law on Friday.
National home prices are expected to take a hit under tax reform. The impact is most severe for high-priced homes, especially in parts of the country where a greater number of people itemize their taxes.
But, according to new data from Moody's Analytics, housing markets in some rural areas of the country might see a small boost.
Below are the counties that are expected to see home prices rise by at least 1% between now and summer 2019, as a result of tax reform, according to research from Moody's Analytics. They are located in Colorado, North and South Dakota, Texas, Alaska, Montana, and Nebraska.
