If you ever considered selling your home, now is the time, and here's why.

Mortgage interest rates are at historical lows, which has spurred a lot of people to refinance their home instead of selling. This, along with COVID, has led to extremely low seller inventory. However, there is still a steady and healthy stream of buyers in the market who are actively looking for a home. Also, because interest rates are so low, there are buyers who can now afford more home than they were previously eligible to buy, again, increasing the buyer pool for your home. High demand for homes and a new pool of buyers has created an imbalance in the market, and with more buyers than sellers, we're officially in a strong "seller's market."

Luckily for the sellers who are taking advantage of current market conditions, they are often receiving multiple offers from buyers who are using price escalation clauses and bidding houses up over list price while waiving home buying contingencies to make their offer stand out and be more competitive. It's not uncommon to see 10 offers on a home. This ultimately puts the seller in the driver's seat.

Equally important is working with a listing agent who understands the local housing market and how to prepare your home to list and market it, both digitally and in print, for top dollar. Make sure your agent knows how to work with and negotiate multiple offers to get you the highest price with the best terms and conditions and how to negotiate contingencies and make the home sale process a smooth and enjoyable experience for you, the seller!

5 Simple Graphs Proving This Is NOT Like the Last Time With all of the volatility in the stock market and uncertainty about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), some are concerned we may be headed for another housing crash like the one we experienced from 2006-2008. The feeling is understandable. Ali Wolf, Director of Economic Research at the real estate consult

March has arrived and with the first signs of Spring, we’re reminded that tax season is upon us and the April 15 tax filing deadline will be here before we know it.

As you prepare your 2019 taxes—if you haven’t already done so—here are a few housing-related items to keep in mind.

Home interest deductions:

Mortgages that closed before Dec. 14, 2017: A married couple filing jointly and single filers can deduct mortgage interest on a combined debt limit of $1 million.

Mortgages that closed after Dec. 14, 2017: For both primary residences and second home loans, mortgage interest can be deducted on a combined debt limit of $750,000.

Property tax deductions:

Taxpayers who itemize can only deduct up to $10,000 on a combination of state and local property, income and sales taxes.

Capital gains tax exclusions:

Married-joint filers can exclude up to $500,000 and single filers can exclude up to $250,000 when selling their primary home, provided they’ve lived there two of the past five years.
Those are just a few of the key tax laws related to housing, and your tax advisor can provide you with specifics on these and many other requirements and how they apply to you.

If you have any real estate-related questions or if you know of someone who is interested in buying or selling a home, please do not hesitate to text or call at 240-252-9111 or PM me here. I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.
