Known for this expertise, The New York Times approached Anslie when they were working on a piece regarding the new tax law, and its impact on prospective buyers. The article states:

Last fall, as the tax overhaul package sped through Congress, Anslie Stokes started fielding questions from nervous home buyers, who were hearing warnings that the bill would crimp the government’s incentives for homeownership and upend housing markets.

Ms. Stokes, a Realtor who runs the Stokes Group at McEnearney Associates in the Washington, D.C., area, noticed at the time what she calls a “pause” in buyer activity. But soon after Mr. Trump signed the law in December, buying activity picked right back up again in the wealthy neighborhoods of the District of Columbia and the high-end suburbs of Maryland.

“We haven’t seen buyers lower their price point” as a result of the tax law, Ms. Stokes said. “All buyers are aware of it, and they’re factoring it in. But they’re not changing what they want to do.”
