Top Ten Tax Tips for Home Sellers
September 7th, 2011 categories: Real Estate News, Selling Real Estate
The IRS doesn't always have to inspire dread, sometimes they can help us make our dealings with them a little easier. The taxmen have released their 10 tax tips for home sellers. This handy information can help sellers ease the stress of tax time. Here's the list: In general, you are eligible to exclude the gain from income if you have owned and used your home as your main home for two years out of the five years prior to the date of its sale. If you have a gain from the sale of your main home, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of the gain from your income ($500,000 on a joint return in most cases). You are not eligible for the exclusion if you excluded the gain from the sale of another home during the two-year period prior to the sale of your home. If you can exclude all of the gain, you do not need to report the sale on your tax return. If you have a gain that cannot be excluded, it is taxable. You must report it on Form 1040, Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses. (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

August 31st, 2011 categories: Foreclosures, Real Estate News
Foreclosure is a scary word, but experts say it is a word that needs to used more often. It is something that no one wants more of, but it is something that this market very well may need. The Obama administration has tried with multiple programs to help save the fledgling market to no avail. According to CNN Money, some housing experts say that if the administration is interested in the future, it should help speed up the foreclosure process to get the delinquent borrowers out and to get the foreclosed homes on the market and back into use. Some of the July '11 numbers on delinquency are staggering: 2.2 million loans in foreclosure 37% behind more than 2 years 34% behind more than 1 year, less than 2 years 71% total behind more than 1 year Compared with July '09 numbers: 6% behind more than 2 years 35% behind more than 1 year, less than 2 years 41% total behind more than 1 year Thomas Lawler, founder of Lawler Economic & Housing Consulting, thinks this is a dangerous pattern emerging. "Delaying foreclosure increases the percentage who'll likely never catch up", Lawler said. The delaying of foreclosure also means that vacant properties can fall further into disrepair and this can hurt surrounding property values. The other...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
