Is September a good time to sell your property?

The statistics show that closed sales are strong in October and November – most properties closed in those months were listed in September and October. Even December can be a strong month for closed sales (meaning house was marketed in September October November). January is typically a slower month – as people are focused on other things in December. These statistics are based on Los Altos and Los Altos Hills market activity.
The graph shows the level of competition (buyers comparing homes to eachother) in the real estate market and highlights the critical importance of hiring the right agent and pricing the property based on its location and condition. More at www.BergmanReport.com

Foreclosure or Short sale – forgiven debt not taxable
Posted in Real Estate, tagged David Bergman, foreclosure, Home, house, Intero, Intero Real estate, Intero Real Estate Services, Real Estate, realtor, santa clara county real estate, short sale on April 13, 2010 |
Distressed homeowners no longer have to pay California state income tax on debt forgiven in a short sale, foreclosure, or loan modification. Enacted into law yesterday, Senate Bill 401 generally aligns California’s tax treatment of mortgage debt relief income with federal law. For debt forgiven on a loan secured by a “qualified principal residence,” borrowers will now be exempt from both federal and state income tax consequences. The existing federal exemption is for indebtedness up to $2 million, whereas the new California exemption is for indebtedness up to $800,000 and forgiven debt up to $500,000.
“Qualified principal residence” indebtedness is defined as debt incurred in acquiring, constructing, or substantially improving a principal residence. It includes both first and second trust deeds. It also includes a refinance loan to the extent the funds were used to payoff a previous loan that would have qualified.
The tax breaks apply to debts discharged from 2009 through 2012. Californians who have already filed their 2009 tax returns may claim the exemption by filing a Form 540X amendment.
Taxpayers who do not qualify for the above exemptions (e.g., second home or rental property) may nevertheless be exempt under other provisions. Most notably, taxpayers who are bankrupt are exempt from debt relief income tax. Also, taxpayers who are insolvent are exempt from debt relief income tax to the extent their current liabilities exceed current assets.
For more information about mortgage forgiveness tax consequences, go to California Franchise Tax Board’s Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Extended webpage and the Internal Revenue Service’s Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation webpage. The full text of Senate Bill 401 is available at www.leginfo.ca.gov.
