If you have made it past the two-year mark in your home, you can put the equity you’ve gained in your home to work for you - tax free!
You could now take advantage of the IRS Tax Gain Exclusion from Income – up to $500,000 for a married couple. Briefly and generally stated, after two years in your primary residence, you qualify for the tax exempt gain – therefore you can roll over the appreciation in your home over into a new home, upsizing or downsizing according to your particular needs – or cash out for other personal goals & plans, without paying income tax on that portion of the gain. I encourage you to ask your accountant regarding the favorable impact this could have on your tax base, finances and life.
In brief, I certainly realize this information may spark the need for additional data for planning and prioritizing strategically. That’s why I also offer a free, personalized Comparative Market Analysis for your specific home, to ascertain its current market value, so you can determine what your anticipated net proceeds could be. Additionally, you can request a free copy of Publication 523 in the FREE REPORTS section of this site. This is all to help you accurately plan - Especially in light of our market surge last year. As I always say, “Plan the work, and work the plan”. That’s how we get things done effectively and efficiently.
I truly hope that this information is stimulating and helpful. In summary, I earnestly desire to help you achieve your goals, and be integrated into one of the most important decisions in your life. Call or e-mail me today to schedule a phone or personal interview. Thank you for your time, and attention. I look forward to your contact.
