In the future no one will be able to move up to a larger home!

Now that we have so much money to pay back for the bailouts we better watch out! I heard that one of the best gifts the IRS gave us is under attack. That gift is the $250,000 single person and $500,000 married couple capital gains exemption. Now the test is living in the house for two of the previous 5 years. Remember when it was once in a lifetime, 55 and older, and you had to buy an equal or more expensive home.

Well the rule in effect now is under attack. In my case my husband and I have a home which we purchased in 1998 for $290,000. Today even in this bad market the home is worth $700,000. If we were to move up (and I am not 55 yet thank you) we would not have to pay capital gains. We could use the gain to buy our new home.

If they remove this exemption we would have to pay around $60,000 in capital gains. Do you think my husband would move if he had to write a check to the IRS for $60,000? If the new president removes this exemption and raises the long term capital gains rate to 25% (he has mentioned that figure), then we would have to write a check for $100,000 to the IRS.

No one would ever move up! Beware!

Why not be brave?

It looks like affordability is at a optimum point now. Buyers should be bold and move ahead with purchases. It looks like interest rates will have to start up soon. Anyone wonder why the banks are still not lending? Did TARP waste our money? Now the auto companies are standing in line. when is my turn? I am not happy with our government.

Sellers Beware!

11-12-08

These tough times sometimes bring out the worst in people. Did you ever notice that when you point the finger at someone, 4 are pointing back at you! If I were a seller I would beware of the agent who changes office and affiliation as often as they change their socks. when interviewing a potential listing agent I would ask:

  1. Are you also working another job?
  2. How many Real Estate companies have you been with in the last 5 years?
  3. How many different offices have you been with in the last five years?
  4. When did you start with your current company?
