Good news for buyers and sellers: Thanks to Bay East advocacy, the Pleasanton City Council is no longer considering a real estate transfer tax.
During its Tuesday, July 15, meeting, on a 3-2 vote, the council directed city staff to not proceed with Bay East members and past presidents William Doerlich and Mike Fracisco, along with Bay East staff, testified during the meeting about how the proposed tax would impact homeownership affordability and shared other concerns.
