3 Good Reasons to Consider Selling Your Saratoga Calif. Home in 2012
by Michelle Carr Crowe, San Jose Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools home selling expert
Did you know there are at least three good reasons to consider selling your Saratoga' Calif. home in 2012? Low inventory, low interest rates and the soon to change capital gains tax exclusion are compelling reasons to consider selling your Cupertino home now before the next market change.
1) Low Inventory: Historically, there are fewer homes in all categories for sale in Cupertino this year. In past years, we’ve had as much as twice the inventory at this point in time.
2) Low Interest Rates: Recently interest rates hit the lowest point since they’ve been tracking rates over the past 50 years. The low interest rate is also referred to as “low cost of money.” A low cost of money means more buyers can afford your home. It also means you can afford to buy more home (or have it cost you less) 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 scheduled to change soon unless legislation is introduced to amend or extend it. This benefit has been around for a long time and many sellers believe will remain available to them indefinitely.
However due to huge economic changes, it is already scheduled to automatically change soon and become taxable for certain sellers. (Ask your tax professional for details.)
