Transfer Fee is certainly very creative. The key is disclosure. It needs to be disclosed that the fee is going to be assessed. It is in the contract. The buyer can walk away if the fee is going to be applied. In today's housing market I do not see many if any builders enforcing the fee if it means losing a sale of a house.
However, I agree it ETR3, everyone in DC is afraid to fart let alone make a decision on anything until November rolls around.
