Want to save on capital gains tax when selling your home?

Selling a house can be exciting, but the taxes can sting—especially if you don’t plan ahead. Did you know that if you sell your home within a year, your capital gains tax will be much higher? But don’t worry! If you’ve lived in your home for at least two years, you could qualify for up to $500K in tax exclusions (for married couples). And if you’ve owned it for over a year, the tax rate drops significantly! Be smart, plan ahead, and time your sale to keep more of your profits. #TaxTips #HomeSelling #RealEstateSavings

Why Homebuyers Keep Ghosting (and How to Stop It)

Ever had a buyer vanish right before closing on your house? You’re not alone—about 1 in 7 home deals are getting ditched last minute. To keep buyers from ghosting, make sure they’re actually ready to buy (ask for proof of funds), get every offer in writing, and give them enough time to check out your place. The more transparent and chill you are, the less likely they’ll bail. Think of it as dating—don’t rush, keep it real, and communicate! #RealEstate #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling

DIY Home Reno Drama: Why Sales Fall Apart

Ever heard of a home sale crashing because of a DIY project? Turns out, unpermitted work, shoddy fixes, and missing disclosures can totally kill a deal—even after you’ve agreed on a price. Lenders and inspectors are catching these red flags, and buyers are bailing fast. If you’re selling, make sure your upgrades are up to code and fully disclosed, or you might be left holding the keys. Anyone else have a DIY disaster story? #Home #RealEstate #HomeSelling

Brooklyn kitchens: What’s turning buyers away?

Brooklyn home sellers, your kitchen might be the dealbreaker you didn’t expect. Even small details—like outdated lighting, mismatched appliances, or lingering food odors—can send buyers running. People here want kitchens that feel bright, modern, and functional, not cramped or stuck in the past. Cluttered counters, grimy grout, and awkward layouts are instant red flags. A few affordable fixes—like swapping out old fixtures, freshening up caulk, or clearing off counters—can make a huge difference. If you’re thinking of selling, what kitchen features do you think matter most? Or, if you’ve been house hunting, what’s made you walk away? Let’s swap stories! #Home #BrooklynRealEstate #HomeSelling

How Delaying a Home Sale Can Save You Big

Imagine holding off on selling your house just to dodge a $700,000 tax bill! That’s what one retired couple in California did—they waited to list their 5-bedroom home, hoping for a change in tax laws. With home prices way up but tax rules stuck in the ‘90s, more folks are getting hit with huge bills when they sell. Pro tip: Sometimes waiting to sell can mean way more money in your pocket! #RealEstate #MoneyHacks #HomeSelling

Why Home Sellers Are Playing the Waiting Game

Thinking about selling your house? You’re not alone—there are more homes for sale now than we’ve seen in years, but buyers are still on the fence thanks to high mortgage rates. Sellers are stuck deciding whether to cut prices or just wait it out. If you’re house hunting, keep an eye out for deals as sellers get more flexible. Sometimes patience pays off! #RealEstate #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling

Could Your Next Home Sale Be Tax-Free?

Heads up, homeowners! There’s talk in D.C. about ditching the tax on profits when you sell your house. Right now, you can skip taxes on up to $500K (joint) or $250K (single), but with home prices way up, that doesn’t always cut it. If this change happens, it could mean more people listing homes, making it easier to buy or upgrade. But, it might mostly help folks with pricier homes and could mean less money for public services. Would this make you sell? #Business #MakeMoney #HomeSelling

Would You List Your House for $1?

Ever seen a house listed for just $1? It’s not a typo—some sellers are dropping their asking price to a single buck to grab attention and spark bidding wars. This wild move is catching on as home prices soar and buyers get pickier. The $1 trick turns house hunting into an auction, letting the market set the real price. Just watch out for scams—always double-check who you’re dealing with before you get swept up in the hype! #RealEstate #RealEstateHacks #HomeSelling

Why Boomers Won't Budge From Big Homes

Ever wonder why so many big, empty houses aren't hitting the market? Turns out, a lot of older homeowners are holding off on selling because of a hefty tax bill they'd face on their profits. This capital gains tax can eat into their retirement savings, so they're sticking with their oversized homes instead of downsizing. If Congress changes the rules, we might see more family-sized homes up for grabs—but until then, don't expect a flood of new listings! #RealEstate #HomeSelling #MoneyHacks

Why Boomer Homes Aren’t Flying Off the Market

Ever wonder why your parents’ old house is still up for sale? Turns out, today’s buyers want move-in-ready spaces with open kitchens and smart gadgets—not 80s carpet and avocado appliances. Plus, those big suburban homes are just too much to clean (and heat!). If you’re selling, a little fresh paint and realistic pricing go a long way. If you’re buying, look past the wallpaper—there might be a deal hiding under that shag carpet! #RealEstate #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling
