Answers to an Inaccurate Property Tax Assessment

Image
Each year, homeowners receive a notification of their property tax assessment, which, when combined with the local tax rate, determines how much they owe in property taxes. While this process is meant to fairly reflect a home's value, assessments are not always accurate. If the valuation is incorrect, homeowners may end up paying more than they should. Fortunately, you have the right to challenge the assessment if you believe it is inaccurate. Here are some of the most common reasons a property tax assessment may be incorrect: Overvaluation - Assessors estimate your home's market value, but if they overvalue it, your taxes will be higher than necessary. This can happen if they rely on outdated or incomplete data or if home values in your area have declined since the last assessment. Errors in Property Information - Mistakes in the assessor's records can lead to an inflated value. Common errors include incorrect square footage, an inaccurate number of bedroom...

Missed Opportunities Are Far More Likely

Image
If you've been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for mortgage rates to drop back below 4% before making a move, it's time for a reality check. While we all loved the historically low rates of 2020 and 2021, those numbers were driven by extraordinary global circumstances, not typical market trends. And expecting them to return any time soon could lead to missed opportunities that may cost you far more in the long run. During the height of the pandemic, global economic uncertainty prompted aggressive action from the Federal Reserve, which helped drive mortgage rates to record lows. In January 2021, the 30-year fixed rate bottomed out at 2.65%, the lowest in Freddie Mac's recorded history, which dates back to 1971. But that wasn't a normal market. It was a response to an emergency. Looking at the big picture, the average 30-year mortgage rate over the last 60+ years has hovered around 7.74%. Even today's rates, currently in the mid 6% range, are below that ...

Tips to Simplify Capital Gains Calculation When You Sell Your Home

Image
When it comes time to sell your home, one of the most important financial details you'll need to know is your "basis" in the property, that is, the total amount you've invested in the home over time. Your basis determines how much profit you'll report on the sale, which in turn impacts whether you owe capital gains taxes. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their original purchase price is just the starting point. Costs for major improvements, certain closing costs, and other qualified expenses can all be added to your basis, helping to reduce�or in some cases eliminate any taxable gain. Keeping thorough and accurate records of these expenses is essential. Without documentation, the IRS may not allow you to include them in your basis, which could result in a larger tax bill than necessary. Homeowners who maintain organized records from day one, including receipts, contractor invoices, and settlement statements, are better positioned to take...
