Looking at selling our primary home in the next few years and downsizing to a condo. What do I need to know about paying capital gains tax? We’ve owned it and lived here 26 years. We will buy a condo for much less than the home value we are selling.
FranciI’m a realtor. Be very careful w condos right now. Many do not have sufficient funds for repairs and improvements due to inflation.
I’m seeing more special assessments to cover these items.
NatalieWhy not a townhouse? You will always pay condo association fees even after it’s paid off.
RondaMarried filing joint you get $500k capital gains tax free. Filing single you get $250k.
Anything over that you are charged for the capital gains over the purchase price. You can deduct home improvement costs from the gain. Check with your CPA. Before and after pics are proof of those improvements if you have no receipts.
