While the market remains balanced, homes are taking longer to sell—often 30 to 60 days—unless they’re well-priced and in good condition. Sellers holding out for last year’s prices are finding they need to make significant price reductions.
Also, an important update on capital gains tax: properties over $250,000 will soon see a tax increase to 66%. This change, effective June 25th, affects many, particularly investors relying on real estate as part of their retirement planning. This policy could prompt investors to sell before the tax hike impacts their returns.
