the government stealing money is a positive. If I am a first time home buyer and I get my federal taxes owed reduced by $25K, that is a good thing and will not affect home prices. In reality I’d still be the one paying the $25K since I’d already need to have the cash on hand. Then come tax return time, I’d get my stolen money back from taxes I paid throughout the year. Which I could then use elsewhere.
The other scenario, if the government just cuts a check for $25K to the seller, that is increasing home prices.
