Why Should You Sell Your West San Jose Lynbrook High Home in 2012?

Why Should You Sell Your West San Jose Lynbrook High Home in 2012?

There are at least three good reasons to consider selling your West San Jose Lynbrook High home in 2012. Low inventory, low interest rates and the still-extant (but soon to change) capital gains tax exclusion are compelling reasons to sell now before the market changes again.

1)       Low Inventory: Just 2 single family homes are for sale in West San Jose, Calif. Lynbrook High zip code 95129 as of Sunday, July 1st.  In contrast, 3 weeks ago on June 10th, there were 7 single-family homes for sale. In past years, we’d have at least twice this much inventory at this point in time.

We had over 100 groups of people come through our open house at 1454 Bing Drive, San Jose this weekend, 20+ agent showings, and a total of 29 disclosure packages requested. For anyone considering selling a West San Jose, Calif. Lynbrook High Home, now is the time to take advantage of the market.

2)       Low Interest Rates: Recently interest rates hit the lowest point since they’ve been tracking rates over the past 50 years. Low interest rates is also referred to as “low cost of money” which means more buyers can afford your home. It also means you can afford more home if you are also buying a home after selling.

3)       The tax-free capital gains benefit of up to $250,000 per single person and $500,000 per couple is still available—but is scheduled to change soon unless legislation is introduced to amend or extend it. Many sellers have become complacent, thinking this benefit will remain available to them indefinitely. However due to dire economic changes, it is already set to change soon and become taxable for certain sellers. (Ask your tax professional for details.)
