Peter Kowalik, Home Seller in Tampa, FL

Can I avoid capital gains tax if I homestead a property bought specifically to flip within a couple months?

Asked Sat Dec 6 2008, 19:50 by Peter Kowalik  -  Home Selling in Tampa  -  4 answers
Linda Hallgren, Realtor, CRS, e-pro Smith & Associates, Inc. answered:
If you are currently homesteading and living in the home as your principle residence and get transfered out of state, that would be the only other means of avoiding capital gains. You have capital gains? Awesome. In order to qualify for long term capital gains you have to hold it for a full year. Short term gains will be taxed at ordinary income levels. I agree, you must speak to a tax professional to get the best advise. - Sun Dec 7 2008, 06:12
Jo Zappala, Real Estate Pro in 33710

Do houses sell in December or is it better to wait until January?

Asked Sun Nov 30 2008, 14:43 by Jo Zappala  -  Home Selling in Saint Petersburg  -  22 answers
Linda Hallgren, Realtor, CRS, e-pro Smith & Associates, Inc. answered:
Homes do sell in December. That is a given. Also, people have more time on their hands to look, so, you will have traffic, especially right after the 25th. I have found more people looking then, but not necessarily jumping on offers, unless they have just sold to someone who wanted to close by the end of the year and this gives them motivation to do the same thing.

I love showing homes during the holiday. They can be fun with the holiday decor. On the other hand, if the home is filled with things or family, it may be too distracting.

I would say, it depends on your time frame for wanting to close. If you are in a hurry, get it done! If not, January has historically been a good month for sales, as people tend to wait til after the holidays and there is some pent up activity. - Mon Dec 1 2008, 04:28

Hi guys... what a lot of interesting responses...
are you moving here for a job? school? family?
I totally love it here and can tell you a lot... do you own something where you are? if not, we are way cheaper than Virginia, and there are some amazing deals here right now! even if you were thinking of renting, you should think of buying a steal... interest rates are low... and there is no telling how long they will stay that way...
anyway... i am here for you... just let me know how I can help!
Linda - Tue Aug 26 2008, 19:20
Well... that would fill a book! Tell me more about what interests you. Where will you work? What does your family like to do? Whats most important to you?

From there i can give you some specific answers.!

Linda
