Midtown Montgomery Market Trends

Friday, February 22, 2008
by The Hat Team
A continuation of Midtown Montgomery's soft market conditions is forecast for existing-home sales in the months ahead, with improvement expected by the second half of this year if loan limits are increased, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors®. 
 
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said sales activity is expected to remain soft through the first half of the year despite a generational low in mortgage interest rates.  “Existing home sales have moved narrowly since last September, but when the full impact of higher loan limits for conventional mortgages begins to impact the market there is likely to be a notable rise in home sales and prices,” he said.
 
This would seem to indicate that now would be a great time to be a home-buyer in the national marketplace. Let’s take a look at the sales statistics for midtown Montgomery in January 2008 to see how the year started off: 
  
The Midtown Montgomery market experienced a considerable slowdown in activity this January, when compared with January 2007.  Pending sales were down 27% and sold listings decreased by 36%.  Homes were on the market for an average of 24 more days than they were last January.  Interestingly, however, the average sales price shot up 40% this January to $226,345!

$135,691

Once again, it's important to realize that Midtown homes--unlike those in newer subdivisions--are pretty much one-of-a-kind. Therefore, the average sale price for any single period will reflect what age, size and renovation quality homes have sold during that short time. For a truer picture of what's going on with homes like yours, give us a call or send us an email.

Montgomery AL Vacation and Investment Home Taxes

Thursday, February 14, 2008
by The Hat Team

Most of us are in the thick of  preparing our 2007 taxes, so I wanted to spend some time this week covering issues related to paying taxes on vacation homes.  Many homeowners in Alabama also own vacation or investment properties – but can these homes truly be claimed as vacation properties?

 

This article from RealEstateJournal.com answers this and other important questions, such as:

  • When and under what circumstances do I have to pay taxes on rental income?
  • What sort of deductions can owners of rental properties take?
  • If my vacation home is considered a secondary home (not a rental home), what deductions can I take?

 Once you have determined which category your property qualifies as, the chart below gives you a quick overview of what you should expect during tax season:

 

Vacation-Home Category

Rental Income

Deductions

Losses

Masters

not taxed

not available besides mortgage interest and property taxes

no tax benefit

Secondary

taxed

available

may possibly report a loss if mortgage interest and property taxes exceed rental income; but can't carry the loss forward or backward to apply to another tax year.

Rental

taxed

available

can carry losses forward, or back
