## Resource

Homeowners in Missouri are sounding the alarm as the American Real Estate Association teams up with Missouri Realtors for the first time ever to block two ballot amendments threatening to hike real estate costs. Amendment Five could push sales taxes past 20% and let lawmakers expand taxes on homes and services without voter approval, while Amendment Four would make it harder for citizens to challenge those hikes. Leaders are rallying voters to say “no” to both, calling it a critical moment to protect affordability—and positioning the ARA as a new, proactive force in real estate advocacy, with plans to expand lobbying and political action nationwide.
