Is there a limit on taxes for the sale of a New York home?

May 242011


U.S. residents living in the state of New York must pay 15% capital gains tax upon the sale of their home. However, you may deduct certain amounts from the total, including closing costs, any points paid on the loan, any loan application fees and $250,000 of a single person’s capital gains ($500,000 for a married couple) if the seller lived in the house as his primary residence for two years out of the previous five. Residents of New York City pay an additional 10% tax upon the sale of their home.

Homes for sale….legitimate or not?

May 212011

I am perusing the NY Daily News classified ads and I am seeing plenty of homes for sales by owner with low down payments listed. Some say owner pays closing costs, etc. Some have an agent. These homes are in the borough of Queens in areas where many have experienced foreclosures. Now, are these legitimate. I am interested in home ownership. I have a high credit score, long term employment, and would love to stop renting ….the only problem is I don’t have a huge down payment and my income is too high for those home ownership assistance programs. I do have something to put down….just not a lot. Anyhow, should I look at these offers or are they likely to be scams?

It is not likely.

For one, the seller can NOT determine your down payment, that is up to your lender. It is also illegal for a seller to pay more then 50% of closing costs.

At least 50% of those ads are scams, so you need to be careful. Make sure you involve an agent of your own or an attorney.
