Many homeowners are urging real estate professionals to avoid selling due to high capital gains taxes and to ask for changes.

With median home prices exceeding $1 million in many U.S. housing markets, some real estate experts have been urging attention to the Capital Gain Tax Act 28 years ago, citing it as one of the factors contributing to the nationwide housing shortage.
