A Seller Guide

It's a Seller's Market

Many homeowners remember the fallout that the housing bust had on real-estate prices. Even though most investors think of the financial crisis as having hit its peak in 2008 and early 2009, it took three more years for home prices to hit bottom. Since early 2012, prices have climbed higher in Nashville and the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index continues to increase, matching its highs from 2006 and 2007.

Is Your City Booming

Where you live is a key factor in determining just how much of a seller’s market you can expect. Today, Nashville is included in hot markets with reports of bidding wars that result in offers well above the asking price. Patricia Straus can negotiate and manage those bidding wars, earning the highest return on your investment.

Tax Benefits Still Favor Home Sales

The biggest tax break for ordinary taxpayers is still the exclusion on capital gains for the sale of a personal residence. Single taxpayers can exclude up to $250,000 in gains from the sale of a home from tax, and joint filers get a double-sized exclusion of $500,000.

Avoid the Surprises

Selling a home is a monumental event, and it can introduce a number of complicated financial considerations. Patricia Straus advocates for you, handling all considerations –ensuring a smooth selling process.
