How to Qualify for a VA loan with no down payment

Qualify for VA loan with no downpayment

Image by thetruthprenuer from Pixabay

Are you looking to qualify for VA loan purchase? Many Veterans are unaware that they can qualify to purchase a Southern NH house for sale with no down payment. Yes, you read that right, you can qualify for VA loan purchase with no down payment. 

Many homes for sale require a larger down payment which makes it a little more difficult for buyers to purchase a home. When a Veteran wants to purchase a Southern NH home for sale with no money down, they can ask the seller to pay up to 4% of the purchase price towards their closing costs, pre-paids, points and escrows on their purchase and sales agreement. This 4% concession will usually take care of all the remaining costs needed to purchase the home. 

As with anything there are some things that need to be done to make sure you qualify for VA loan purchase on a Southern NH house for sale. One such item is retrieving a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA. It confirms the purchase is through a Veteran and the Veteran still has remaining eligibility for buying a Southern NH house for sale. The VA will verify the service record of the veteran and provide the amount they are eligible to be registered for in the program. It will be in the form of a pre-approval letter with a specified amount that a Veteran can afford for a Southern NH home for sale.

Generally speaking, a Veteran is only allowed to have one VA loan and it is supposed to be used for the purchase of their primary residence. Some exceptions to this rule apply in the process but your situation would have to be considered by the underwriter to be approved.

The Veteran can obtain their Certificate of Eligibility typically one of two ways. They can apply for it directly through the VA or have their mortgage company apply for it directly on their behalf. The loan still requires that you meet all the requirements for getting a VA loan by getting the property Notice of Value (NOV) which is a lot like an appraisal. The NOV gives an opinion on the value of Southern NH Home for sale the Veteran is purchasing and notes any defects or repairs that need to be made to the home prior to closing to qualify for VA loan purchase.

The Veteran is also required to show that they can afford to pay the monthly payment for the Southern NH house for sale through their debt to income ratio. Ultimately, this is shown as a percentage of your debts versus the income you make as a percentage ratio. They like to see the Veteran stay under a 44% Debt to Income (DTI).

Many Veterans are purchasing homes this way at considerably lower monthly costs than non-Veterans. The interest rates can be very attractive in comparison to other rates. There is no mortgage insurance unlike most other loans on the market. While not everybody can qualify for VA loan purchase it is one of the best ways for a Veteran to purchase as Southern NH house for sale.

As with everything, you should check out all of your options available to finance a Southern NH house for sale so you can make the best decision. You can compare the different types of loans, review the APR (annual percentage rate ) on each loan. Then sit down with a knowledgeable loan officer who can go over your entire situation and review any questions you may have about your loan process.

Do you know the Fair Market value of your rental?

fair market value

Do you know the Fair Market value of your rental or investment property? When you purchase rental real estate in Southern NH, the first thing you need to decide is what you’ll charge someone to occupy your property. The rental value of each unit will help determine if it is a sound investment.

Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay 

How will you make that decision? Most people check out other Southern NH rentals and see what homes or apartments of a similar size are renting for, but that really isn’t going to tell you all you need to know either. Unless you’ve seen both the interior and exterior of all the Southern NH properties for rent, you don’t know how their condition and location compare to yours. Of course condition and location play an important role in how much a tenant will pay to rent your Southern New Hampshire property. Fair market value rent will also depend on a few other factors. Will you as the landlord furnish the appliances? Will the tenants have their own laundry facilities? What will be included in the rent: heat, hot water, sewer, electric, cable, and garbage collection? How much parking is there for each unit? What are all the costs associated with the rental?

The result of not knowing the going rate for other comparable properties in Southern NH is that landlords simply have to guess, and hope for the best answer. Oddly enough, we’ve found that some Southern NH property owners charge a lower rent to their tenant than necessary when they have been long term tenants. When we take over the management of a rental property, we are generally able to raise the tenant’s rent enough to more than cover our management fees. In addition, we’ve found that tenants who pay a little more for rent are usually more responsible and keep your property in better condition than tenants who pay less.

Will you have the tenant fill out an application? Do you know how to verify their employment, references and credit? How will you know if the tenant gives you valid references for their previous landlords? Harmony Real Estate can handle all the details for you and make sure that their references are valid to make sure they will be a good fit for your rental property. This will remove as much doubt as possible to know if they will be good tenants.

Another piece of the puzzle is the lease agreement. Do you have a lease in place to protect you from unforeseen issues? Can you charge the tenant a late fee if they don’t pay on time? How will you address the issue with the tenant if they don’t pay? Is everything addressed on your lease? Do you have an insurance clause for fire damage? Do you have incidentals costs?

If you would like to know the fair market value of your rental give our agents a call. We would love to assist you with your real estate needs.

If you would like to know more about fair market value and explore how Harmony Real Estate can help increase the cash flow on your Southern NH investment rental property, give our agents a call at (603) 883-8840 to discuss your investment property. We would be happy to explain our service, our procedures and our fees and take the hassle out of your Southern NH investment property management.

Powerful Tips to declutter your house with less mess

declutter your house

Image by stevepb from Pixabay

I find that the most distracting thing about entering a Hudson house for sale is the clutter. It does not necessarily mean the house is dirty, however, it distracts buyers from looking at your Hudson house for sale. If you want to sell your house fast, the best option is to declutter your house.

Where should you start if your Hudson house is cluttered? Start with one room at a time! Once you finish a room you can move on to the next one. That way you don't get discouraged. As you declutter your house you will be able to see your progress in every room along the way.  Included is a link to a video below with tips on how to declutter your house, without making a mess along the way.

Take a look around and see if you have any junk piles that can be organized or thrown away. Do you have a lot of pictures and shelves on your walls? Remove any personal photos and put away any portraits that are just laying around for a less cluttered look.

Do you have a lot of furniture in your home? How many pieces of furniture are in each room? Get rid of any extra pieces of furniture that are not necessary. Try to open up each room as much as possible. Organize your stuff and put it in the basement or donate it, instead of having wall to wall furniture in every room.  

Are old magazines piling up? Give them away or recycle them. Do you still have books from 10 years ago laying around? Make a donation and get a tax deduction, while you declutter your house! Clean out the junk drawers and your closets and make your house look bigger.

The toughest room is usually the bedroom  but it can be easy to declutter your house! Start with the bedroom closets then go through your bureaus. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, put it in the donation pile. If you can't decide, another way to get rid of things is to place everything on the hanger backwards. In a year, if the hanger is still backwards donate it because you haven't worn it.

Your house will look bigger and cleaner once you remove all the extra stuff. It will be worth the time you spend organizing! Don't forget it will make your Hudson NH house sell faster and for more money when you declutter your house.

If you are looking to sell your Hudson New Hampshire home for sale, reach out to our agents at Harmony Real Estate or give us a call at (603) 883-8840. We would love to help you with all your home selling goals. We are here to help you with all your real estate needs!

Market Value: Do you need a bathtub for resale?

bathtub for resale

While many people are looking to showers more and think about the need for a bathtub for resale. It is definitely good for value when putting your home up for sale on the market. Families with young children won’t even consider buying your Southern New Hampshire house for sale if you don’t have a bathtub. While it can always be added most buyers are not looking to renovate, or might not even be able to afford a new tub, right after purchasing a new home. 

Image by WarrenMae from Pixabay

You may be asking "Do you even need a bathtub for resale?" Some adults may not have any use for a bathtub due to their schedules or preferences, and might even prefer a steam shower with a bench seat over a bathtub. However, seniors and luxury buyers tend to look for a bathtub for relaxation when purchasing a Southern NH home for sale. I think the main consideration to take into account when making your decision will be who will consider purchasing your home for sale when you finally make the decision to sell it. If you live in a 55+ development or a 1 bedroom home you may be just fine. However you need a bathtub for resale if you are selling a house that calls to a larger family. 

Sellers need to have the necessities that buyers are looking for when purchasing a Southern New Hampshire house for sale. If you don’t have a bathtub in your home and it appeals to buyers who have young children, seniors or luxury buyers you should consider installing a bathtub if you don’t already have one! You wouldn’t want to rule out a good portion of the market by removing a bathtub that another family might require when they are looking for a home for sale.

Personally we would suggest having at least one bathtub in a home, if it has 2 or more bedrooms but it will always depend on the market where you live. There is some value in a bathtub for resale. Ultimately the decision is yours to make and you should base it on your family’s need but ideally you'll need a bathtub for resale. We would always suggest keeping resale in mind when making home renovation decisions. Even if you think you will never sell your Southern NH home, situations change that force you to make decisions that you may never have thought were possible.

If you are looking to purchase or sell your Southern New Hampshire home for sale, give our Agents at Harmony Real Estate a call at (603) 883-8840. We would love to help you with all your home buying and selling goals. We are the agency in tune with your real estate needs!  

8 Dangerous Selling Myths You Need to Know

There are several common selling myths that a South Nashua seller may get stuck on. Whether you have developed your own preconceived notions, or you’re stuck on other sales people's misconceptions, believing these myths can hurt your ability to sell your South Nashua house for sale. 

Here are 8 selling myths about your South Nashua home for sale that you shouldn’t believe.

Selling Myth #1: Price is the Only Reason to Buy 

Of course the listing price has something to do with the purchase of your South Nashua house for sale. However, it is not the main reason why someone is purchasing it. If the house you are selling is run down and falling apart, and it needs a lot of work, the price wouldn’t be the only factor. What is important in a situation like this is that the buyer has enough money and time to repair the South Nashua home themselves after their purchase. If not, they will move on to a deal that better suits their home needs, regardless of the price. 

Selling Myth #2: Your house won't sell in the winter.

In many markets, spring tends to be the best one but it doesn't mean that a house can't or won't sell in the winter. In fact, in the market we are currently experiencing winter is an awesome time to sell. The fact is that buyers looking in the winter tend to be more serious buyers. Why would they be out looking at homes in the cold if they weren't? Winter has been good for years now due to low inventory as well. If there are no South Nashua homes for sale that meet your criteria or there is too much competition to win during the spring, winter could actually be the best time to purchase your South Nashua home. You just need a savvy REALTOR® who will be on your side guiding you through the process.

Selling Myth #3: Buyers are Liars 

Many buyers are misguided about the South Nashua home buying process by what they hear from other sales people, on TV, and from the internet. Selling myths usually occurs when their real estate agent has failed to earn the buyers trust. Gaining a buyers trust means not pushing them to make a specific buying decision that is not good for them. 

The best REALTOR® will focus their attention on your specific needs and your current situation rather than trying to close the deal for their needs. Earning trust means treating people with respect and dignity even if they aren’t prepared to make a buying decision right away in South Nashua.

Selling Myth #4:  Anyone Can Be Persuaded To Buy

This might work at the mall when someone is shopping for Christmas gifts, but not just anyone can be persuaded to buy when it comes to purchasing a South Nashua home for sale. Buying a house is a very big deal! It’s one of the biggest, most expensive purchases a person will ever make and buyers don’t usually do it impulsively. 

Buyers like to find a home that is perfect for their needs and their family. No matter how well you are at persuading, if the South Nashua home you’re selling isn’t what the buyer wants and it isn’t the right fit for them, you won’t be able to persuade them to buy a house.

Selling Myth #5:  One Shoe Fits All

Many books have been written about the right ways to do things, and those books are full of selling myths themselves. We all have our own unique personality and what works well for one person may not work as effectively for another person. Everyone is different and when selling a South Nashua home for sale, you may want to think about what a buyer will like and combine it with your ideas so you can really connect with the buyer on their level and appeal to them. 

While renovating the entire kitchen may sell your home, it may not bring back the full value of the repair at resale. Going drastic with upgrades is not the best approach either. Many times some basic upgrades like curb appeal, decluttering, updated counters, new knobs and lighting fixtures, and a fresh coat of paint will do just fine. 

Selling Myth #6:  It’s Important To Close The Sale As Soon As Possible

This is probably one of the worst selling myths I have ever come across. Yes, it is important to move people towards a home buying decision, but it is also important that they are being treated properly. A good REALTOR® will make sure that their buyer is purchasing a South Nashua home for sale that best suits their buyers needs. 

Not every sale decision will be made easily, or quickly. A buyer needs to be sure they are doing what is best for them, and at a proper pace that works for their schedule. In certain situations, rushing to make a commitment to buy a South Nashua house might not be in your best interest if your not ready. Knowing the market and your mind, however is key! If you are interested in a home and couldn't imagine yourself without it then you will want to make a decision before anyone else does.  

Selling Myth #7:  Do Whatever It Takes To Get The Sale

Aggressive and manipulative sales tactics can sometimes work but you don't want the buyer coming back after the sale with complaints that turn into a liability. Also, you wouldn’t want someone to lie or swindle you in order to complete a sale so don’t ask your real estate agent to do that either.  

Many sellers feels as if they need to close the deal on any offer they get, and this is not the case. If someone offers you lower than your asking price for your South Nashua home for sale, but your house has just recently been put on the market you may still be able to get more for your home. Talk with your real estate agent, negotiating with the buyer may be a better option. Don’t give up until you discuss all the possible options with the buyers. When selling your South Nashua home for sale you need to be patient and make the best business decision for yourself as a seller.

Selling Myth #8:  You can sell your home by yourself.

While it is in fact possible to sell your South Nashua home for sale solo, it is always better to have a professional by your side. Selling your home takes time, knowledge and negotiating skills. Do you really want to worry about negotiating directly with a buyer or showing your house to strangers? If you were going to buy stocks, or had an important legal question, or needed advice on your tax return you would call a professional so it only makes sense that when you decide to sell your South Nashua home that you would call a REALTOR®.  You need a middle man to make the decisions less emotional and price your home accurately. It's also a known fact that houses sold with a REALTOR® sell faster and for more money. 

Real Estate sales is an honorable career and sales professionals and their sellers need to avoid becoming prey to these selling myths. Be sure to focus your energy to make the best educated decision possible when buying or selling a South Nashua home for sale. The agents here at Harmony Real Estate would be happy to make your buying and selling dreams a reality!

Selling Myths Busted!


There are several common selling myths that a South Nashua seller may get stuck on. Whether you have developed your own preconceived notions, or you’re stuck on other sales people's misconceptions, believing these myths can hurt your ability to sell your South Nashua house for sale.


Here are some myths about your SOuth Nashua home for sale that you shouldn’t believe.


  1. Price is the #1 Reason Someone Buys
    Of course the listing price has something to do with the purchase of your South Nashua house for sale. However, it is not the main reason why someone is purchasing it. If the house you are selling is run down and falling apart, and it needs a lot of work, the price wouldn’t be the only factor. What is important in a situation like this is that the buyer has enough money and time to repair the South Nashua home themselves after their purchase. If not, they will move on to a deal that better suits their home needs, regardless of the price.


  1. Buyers Lie
    Many buyers are misguided about the South Nashua home buying process by what they hear from other sales people, on TV, and from the internet. This usually occurs when their real estate agent has failed to earn the buyers trust. Gaining a buyers trust means not pushing them to make a specific buying decision that is not good for them.


The best REALTOR® will focus their attention on your specific needs and your current situation rather than trying to close the deal for their needs. Earning trust means treating people with respect and dignity even if they aren’t prepared to make a buying decision right away in South Nashua.

  1. Anyone Can Be Persuaded To Buy
    This might work work at the mall when someone is shopping for Christmas gifts, but not just anyone can be persuaded to buy when it comes to purchasing a South Nashua home for sale. Buying a house is a very big deal! It’s one of the biggest, most expensive purchases a person will ever make and buyers don’t usually do it impulsively.

Buyers like to find a home that is perfect for their needs and their family. No matter how well you are at persuading, if the South Nashua home you’re selling isn’t what the buyer wants and it isn’t the right fit for them, you won’t be able to persuade them to buy a house.

  1. A Technique That Works For One Will Work For All
    Many books have been written about the right ways to do things, and those books are full of myths themselves. We all have our own unique personality and what works well for one person may not work as effectively for another person. However, instead of discarding that particular idea you should look for a way to integrate it into your natural style and approach. Everyone is different and when selling a South Nashua home for sale, you may want to think about what a buyer will like and combine it with your idea so you can really connect with the buyer on their level.


  1. It’s Important To Close The Sale As Soon As Possible
    This is probably one of the worst selling myths I have ever come across. Yes, it is important to move people towards a home buying decision, but it is also important that they are being treated properly. A good REALTOR® will make sure that their buyer is purchasing a South Nashua home for sale that best suits their buyers needs.


Not every sale decision will be made easily, or quickly. A Buyer wants to be sure they are doing what is best for them, and at a proper pace that works for their schedule. In certain situations, trying to rush the buyer to make a commitment to buy a South Nashua house can cost you the sale.

  1. Do Whatever It Takes To Get The Sale
    Aggressive and manipulative sale tactics can sometimes work, but they won't create returning customers and clients. You may get one sale but in the long run you will not have the customer wanting to work with you again. If they give you bad reviews you can lose future business. And you wouldn’t want the buyer coming back after the sale with complaints that turn into a liability. Also, you wouldn’t want someone to lie or swindle you in order to complete a sale so don’t ask your real estate agent to do that either.  

  2. Close The Deal At Any Price
    Many sellers feels as if they need to close the deal on any offer they get, and this is not the case. If someone offers you lower than your asking price for your South Nashua home for sale, but your house has just recently been put on the market, don’t worry because someone else will love your listing too. Or negotiating with the buyer may be a better option. Don’t give up until you discuss all the possible options with the buyers. When selling your South Nashua home for sale you need to be patient and make the best business decision for yourself as a seller.

8+ DIY ideas to sell your house for more money

When you are selling your South Nashua home for sale, some simple fixes can be very important to help reel in a buyer. The more appealing your home looks to the eyes, the more likely you will be to get a bite.

Here are a few ideas on how to stage your home when you are selling!

Bathroom

The bathroom is always a big seller for South Nashua buyers. Try to make it look as clean as possible! If the walls are dirty or moldy spray them with a mixture of one part bleach, and one part water. The mold will disappear! Be sure to wipe them down after, and apply a coat of semi-gloss paint to make the walls easier to clean.

Clean all that yucky grime off of your glass shower door. You can start by removing the door and cleaning it with a mixture of ten parts water, and one part muriatic acid. Scrub it, then reattach the door, this will have it sparkling like new in no time! Or better yet get rid of the door and just put up a shower curtain in it's place. This will give your South Nashua home for sale a more modern look.

If your tile is gross and needs to be replaced, don’t spend all your money redoing the bathroom, that would cost a fortune! Simply scrub the tile and then add a coat of sealer to make it more manageable next time.

Buyers like it when they can see every square foot of your bathroom. If you have a big vanity that takes up too much space, replace it with a pedestal sink and a mirror on the wall! Or if you need the storage just get a smaller sink with a few drawers. It will make your bathroom appear larger and will look perfect for your showings!

Kitchen & Dining Room

Nobody wants to eat food in a dirty kitchen, and especially not in a run down dining room. You should always make sure that your kitchen looks nice whether you are selling your South Nashua home or not. Instead of replacing old cabinets, sand them down and add a few nice coats of stain or paint to them. Before you know it they will look brand new, and this will be very appealing to a buyer.

Stainless steel appliances are a new trend that buyers love. Instead of buying a new dishwasher, microwave, or oven, take a trip to your local hardware store and purchase stainless steel stick on covers! They are easy to apply and they look fantastic. First, remove the front panels from the appliances you decide to cover. After that, apply a stainless steel stick on covering, and cut it to size. Your appliances will go from outdated to modern in no time at all!

Who wouldn’t want granite counter tops in the Granite State? They are absolutely gorgeous, and there is a way to get them so much cheaper rather than having to pay a boat load for them. (unless of course you prefer to fully replace them.) There are stick-ons for your countertops too! Visit your local hardware store and choose the one that will match your kitchen the best!

There is a way to make your hardwood floors look more dramatic, and it is so simple! First, find which boards are damaged, cut them out and replace them with new pieces. Use a sander and give the floor a good sanding. Then the last step is to stain the boards with a rich color, and there you go! Beautiful hardwood floors are always a plus with buyers!

Bedroom & Living Room

The living room is also very important to a South Nashua buyer. Typically that is where most people spend their time when they are at home. There is a way to make your hardwood floors look more dramatic, and it is so simple! First, find which boards are damaged, cut them out and replace them with new pieces. Use a sander and give the floor a good sanding. Then the last step is to stain the boards with a rich color, and there you go! Beautiful hardwood floors are a definite buyer plus!

Do you have a fireplace in your South Nashua home for sale? Is it brick or stone? Either way, I’m sure that a little update would help sell your South Nashua home for sale! If you have a stone fireplace wipe it down with a rag and water, and then use some stone polish to make it sparkle like new. If your fireplace is brick, use a rag to rub a thin coat of paint on the bricks. You don't want to cover the bricks completely with paint but give it a more dulled down look, and your fireplace will go from sticking out to standing out in just a few simple steps! Also be sure to replace your old fireplace screen, or just touch it up with a few coats of spray paint to match your room!

When you are selling your South Nashua home for sale, you should make sure that your master bedroom appeals to buyers. Get rid of features that seem too gender-specific, and paint the walls a neutral color. Choose bedding and accessories that match and pull the whole scheme together.

Buyers love built-in bookshelves. There are a lot of people who use bookshelves to store their clutter, but when you are selling you need to use every aspect of your home to the best of its ability. The trick with a bookshelf is to arrange neutral items in clusters, and be sure that none of your accessories stand out too much. This way you'll show off your beautiful built-in bookshelves, but not all your clutter or personal belongings.

Exterior

When you are selling your South Nashua home for sale the first thing a buyer will see is the exterior! Touch up the outside of your South Nashua home for sale by replacing the shutters, painting your house, or replacing any cracked siding. Also, add some color with flowers, be sure your lawn is mowed, your bushes are trimmed, and your walkway and driveway look good by cleaning them and giving them a new coat of tar when necessary. Adding perennial flowers, shrubs, small trees and plants may also help to spice up the outside of your South Nashua home for sale. You want it to look it beautiful for your showings as well as for buyers driving by your neighborhood. You never know when a potential buyer may pass by and fall in love with your South Nashua home for sale.

Do you have a fireplace in your home? If so, is it brick, or stone? Either way, I’m sure that you could use some help fixing it up to sell your South Nashua home for sale! If you have a stone fireplace wipe it down with an old rag and some water, and then polish it with some stone polish to make it sparkle like new. If your fireplace is brick, use a rag to rub a thin coat of paint on the bricks. This won't cover the bricks completely with paint, and your fireplace will go from sticking out to standing out in just a few simple steps! Also be sure to replace your old fireplace screen, or just touch it up with a few coats of spray paint to match your room!

4 Best Ways to Avoid Capital Gains on your South Nashua house for sale

Here are four simple ways to avoid capital gains on your house sale! No one likes taxes, unless you are getting a tax return of course. Capital gains are a tax that you have to pay when you sell something for more than you paid for it. In this case we will use your South Nashua home as the example. Say you buy your South Nashua home for $250,000, and then you sell your South Nashua home for sale a year later for $275,000. That is considered a capital gain, and you have to include them when you file your taxes.

Wait Before You Sell

If you want to purchase a South Nashua home for sale as a primary residence, and later you decide it isn’t the right fit for you and your family and you want to sell it, you should wait at least two years before you do so. As long as it has been your primary residence for two of the last five years, will remove any gain you may make under $250,000. For a married couple it is even more, up to $500,000 at $250,000 per person.

A one year wait will also mark the value of other sales as a long-term capital gain, and you may even save 10%-20% depending on your tax rate. However, we always suggest asking your accountant, it doesn’t hurt to check with your local CPA to make sure the rules have not changed and that you are still making a sound decision.

Sell When Your Income Is Low

Your income level will impact the amount of long-term capital gains tax you will pay. The lower your income percentage is, the less money you will pay when tax time rolls around. The higher your income tax bracket, or the more you make yearly, the more you will be required to pay come the end of the year. People in the 25-35% income bracket pay around 15% on capital gains, while taxpayers in the 39.6% bracket pay 20%, and  in the 10%-15% bracket you may not be required to pay any long-term capital gains at all.

You are best off to sell your property when your household income is the lowest so you can avoid paying capital gains tax at all. However, that is not always possible so always discuss it further with your CPA to make sure you are selling at the right time.

Keep Your Home Improvement Receipts

Keep all your records! Make sure to keep receipts for any home improvements or additions you’ve made to your South Nashua home for sale over the years that you have lived there, or while you owned your South Nashua home. In addition to increasing your home’s value, any improvements that you make to your home increase your basis in the home and that will reduce your capital gains tax.

This tax-savings strategy can be particularly valuable! If you have a gain on your South Nashua home for sale and the house doesn’t qualify for the primary residence exclusion, or you’ve exceeded your exclusion amount it may come in handy.

An improvement is anything that betters your home. It could also restore your South Nashua home to a previous condition or adapt the condition it is in. Adding rooms, a deck, a pool, or even landscaping the property all count as improvements to your South Nashua home for sale. Upgrading windows and doors, plumbing, insulation, heating, cooling, wiring, irrigation or an indoor sprinkler system also qualify. Restoring damaged parts of your home, remodels including new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and built-in appliances are also improvements that are deductible. Retain copies of receipts and records and keep a log of all the purchases you’ve made.

Move Often

Although this can be time consuming, selling your South Nashua home for sale will help you use the capital gain to its fullest potential. You need to have lived in your house for at least two years to claim the exclusion. The IRS will allow taxpayers to use the exclusion multiple times, but no more than once every two years. This means you could sell multiple homes at a large gain and never pay a dime in taxes!

The capital gain exclusion is large enough that many taxpayers will never have to pay taxes on the sale of their Sale Nashua homes or for that matter wherever you live. AS stated previously, a married couple can exclude up to $500,000 or $250,000 each. However, if you’ve held your property for a long time, bought in desirable area, or you are single then the exclusion may not completely cover your gains.
