New home sales will not be impacted at all. The NRST will be financed as part of the mortgage. The increase in monthly payments is more than offset by the increase in the paycheck.

Why should I back up your claim? You make no sense. You twist it to try to make it my claim, which it never was. One post you say it was my claim, then you admit it was yours. What you said has little to do with what I said.
You don't get it. It doesn't matter whether or not an additional $60,000 is offset by an increase in the amount of a buyers take home pay (assumption; what the increase will be is not defined), the issue is paying (and financing - think interest) $60,000 more for a home, not because its bigger, in a better neighborhood, has more features, but just because its new and a new tax has gone into effect.
