So it increases the cost for corporations to buy houses. Even if what you were describing was how markets worked(it isn’t), it’s still helping.

Or anyone looking to move, upsize, downsize, etc since it is only for first time buyers. Why can't we just prevent corps from doing it in the first place instead of making them pay a miniscule (for them) fee?

Except that per your logic, all homes are now magically valued exactly $25k more, so once you own a home you have the extra equity to afford it.
