Looks like you're concerned more about every single penny even before you're planning to buy. Nothing comes for free in this country and you pay for what you get, so you cannot negate high HOA, taxes and other costs related to a home. Do yourself a favor. Rent!! - Tue Jul 8 2008, 21:03
Well, Thank you all for your inputs. I did some research on what you can and what you can't deduct off the closing cost from tax savings perspective.
There are only 2 items that can deduct off closing costs.
- Prepaid Mortgage Interest
- State Taxes and any points you've paid upfront at the time of closing, however all other costs like recording fees, title insurance, flood certification, appraisal, title search can be added to the basis of your taxes which would help in estimating your total profit or loss when you plan to sell the house.
Why I was asking specifically for Montogomery township is
1. It's in close proximity of princeton but the prices are not as high as in princeton township.
2. I was doing some research on the 5 year correction of house prices with decline in 5 years which will be mainly for central and north NJ , so therefore I was thinking to buy something that would yield some return rather getting depreciate over a period of time.
How do you rate Montogomery township as far as appreciation is concerned ?
