"Cheryl and her team are the people to call"
When my husband and I decided to move back to Nevada County we weren’t sure where to start! We had a basic idea of what we were looking for but weren’t familiar enough with the new areas in Grass Valley. Cheryl, Reesa and Valda took the time to delve into our dreams and found the perfect property for us! Not only did they help with the search, but they were always available if we had questions, and were constantly keeping us up to date on the progress of our escrow. We now live in our dream home, and without Cheryl and her team, we couldn’t have made it happen. If you need someone who gets the job done, Cheryl and her team are the people to call!

Tax Considerations >Tax Implications of Selling Your House
Most of my clients profit from selling their homes, and they often have questions about capital gains tax.
When you sell your primary residence, you are not taxed on your profit if (1) you have lived in the home for two out of the last five years and (2) your gain does not exceed $250,000 as a single taxpayer or $500,000 as a married couple filing jointly. Gains above these limits are taxed at the current rate of 15% for higher income taxpayers and 5% for lower income taxpayers. In 2008 the 15% rate will continue for higher income taxpayers; while the 5% lower income rate will drop to 0% for the 2008 tax year only. On January 1, 2009, the long-term capital gains tax rates will once again be 15% and 5% through 2010.
Homeowners can use this tax-free provision every two years. As set forth in the American Job Creation Act of 2004, properties converted from a 1031 exchange property into a primary residence must be held and used as a primary residence for at least five years to qualify for the tax exemption.
Consult your tax accountant for more detailed information regarding your particular circumstance.
