H.R. 3648: Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007

H.R. 3648: Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007

President Bush signed into law a new measure giving tax breaks to homeowners who have mortgage debt forgiven. Under preexisting law, the debt forgiven by a lender, such as for short sales and refinances, was generally taxable to the borrower as debt discharge income. With the passage of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, a taxpayer does not have to pay federal income tax on debt forgiven for a loan secured by a qualified principal residence. This tax break applies to debts discharged from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009. Qualified principal residence indebtedness is debt incurred in acquiring, constructing, or substantially improving the residence (up to $2 million for refinances). For purposes of calculating capital gains, any debts discharged excluded from income under the new law must be subtracted from the basis of the taxpayer’s principal residence (but not below zero). However, taxpayers may generally exclude from capital gains income up to $250,000 (or $500,000 for married couples filing jointly) for properties owned and used as their principal residence for at least two of the last five years. For a copy of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, go to http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-3648 With the new tax break for mortgage debt forgiveness law the government is limiting the capital gains exclusion. Currently, an individual could have lived in a principal residence for two years, and sell using the exclusion, move into their vacation home for two years, and sell using the exclusion, with the end result being that you could have a tax free gain of $500,000 THREE TIMES in six years. Now, for properties acquired and used as a second home starting next year, and later converted to principal residence for a time and then sold, only the period when the property was used as a principal residence will count toward the capital-gain-exclusion computation. The amount of the gain that’s proportional to the period when it was not a principal residence would be taxable.

Housing Crisis or Opportunity?

October 23rd, 2007 by amirshahkarami

Historically, Real Estate Has Been a Solid, Long Term Investment. Looking at the last 40 years of real estate in California, we have seen very few times in which real estate values have dropped. In fact, according to the California Association of Realtors, since 1970 the real estate market in California has only dropped seven times, six times under 3.7% and only once at 4.5%. On the contrary, our market has seen remarkable growth. In 1970, the median cost of a singlefamily home in California was $26,000. Today, 37 years later, homes have seen a 2,165% increase, now selling for $588,970.

Historically, Santa Clara County Has Enjoyed Even Stronger Success. According to the California Association of Realtors, in 1989 the median price of a single-family home in Santa Clara County was $246,847. Today, just 18 years later, that same single family home is selling for $860,000 - a 248% increase. Certainly in recent months we have seen a shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market but that switch was necessary to continue a healthy flow of exchange amongst buyers and sellers. The bottom line is that our economy couldn’t maintain the double digit increases we saw in home prices in 2003 and 2004 without seeing a shift. If we continued to see an upstream of that magnitude we would nearly eliminate the first-time home buyers which could potentially drastically hinder our economy. Shifts in our market are what keep our economy running smoothly.Housing Crisis or Opportunity? Only history will show.

Is Now the Time to Buy? Now may be the time to buy: mortgage rates remain low (certainly by historical standards), prices have stabilized and there is a large selection of homes to choose from. Certainly it makes a more exciting news story for journalists to dwell on the negative, but for smart consumers it is definitely more economically advantageous to seize opportunities as they present themselves. And this market may offer some tremendous opportunities. While no one can predict the future, if history is any indication, then real estate over the long run will continue to be a solid investment. And that’s good news for everyone - buyers, sellers and the real estate industry. If you are ready to make an informed and educated decision about real estate, please contact me today. I would be happy to help you.

Frequently Asked Questions - 1031 Exchange

October 10th, 2007 by amirshahkarami

Frequently Asked Questions - 1031 Exchange

Q: How long do I have to own a property before I can exchange it?

A: The longer the better. Unfortunately, there is no safe holding period for property to automatically qualify for an exchange. Keep in mind, the property only needs to be “held for investment or productive use in trade or business” for it to be eligible for an exchange. Time of ownership is only one factor the IRS looks at when determining if the property was “held for investment”. Some tax advisors recommend a minimum holding period of one year.

Q: Can I sell my duplex and purchase raw land?

A: Certainly. Properties involved in an exchange need to be “held for investment or productive use in trade or business”. Holding land for its future appreciation would be considered held for investment. Don’t get confused by the “like-kind” requirement. “Like-kind” can be any real property used for business or investment purposes within the U.S.

Q: Can I move into a rental property that was originally purchased as part of a 1031 Exchange?

A: Yes - but not right away. Keep in mind that the IRS will look at your “intent” in determining if your exchange is valid. If the IRS feels your original intent when the property was initially acquired was to use it as a primary residence, you may have your exchange disqualified. To play it safe, rent the property out for as long as possible before moving in.

Q: Do I have to reinvest ALL of my cash (equity)?

A: No. However, any cash (equity) that is not reinvested in real estate will be taxable (and is known as cash boot). The general rule of thumb if you don’t want to pay any taxes is to reinvest all of your cash and purchase a property equal or greater in value.

Q: How long do I have to complete my exchange?

A: 180 days. However, also keep in mind you will be required to identify your potential replacement properties on day 45 of your exchange. Your timeline starts when you close escrow on the property you are selling.

Q: Does my Realtor need to do anything special since I am exchanging?

A: Your Realtor should make sure the sales contract is assignable. Asset Exchange Company can provide the necessary language for the contract.

Q: How do I get my exchange started?

A: Call Asset Exchange Company at 877-471-1031 as soon as you’ve opened escrow. We’ll draft up an exchange agreement and coordinate with you and your escrow company to facilitate the exchange.

Q: What are their fees?

A: $499 for a standard one for one delayed exchange.

Q: Do you handle Reverse 1031 Exchanges?

A: Yes. Asset Exchange Company can accommodate Reverse 1031 Exchanges. We also handle multi-property exchanges, construction and improvement exchanges and reverse construction/improvement exchanges.

Q: Does your company have an Attorney or a CPA on staff?

A: Both. When you work with Asset Exchange Company, your transaction is handled from start to finish by an attorney and a CPA. You can consult with the attorney/CPA as much as necessary at no additional fee.

Q: What distinguishes Asset Exchange Company?

A: Hard work - and we like what we do. Asset Exchange Company wants to be the resource for all your 1031 Exchange needs. We work hard for our clients, we are responsive and we offer great rates.

California San Francisco Bay Area Market Flash – October 2007 Time to Take Advantage

October 9th, 2007 by amirshahkarami

Market Flash – October 2007
Time to Take Advantage

The fall season, a time which beckons change, is here.  For eager home buyers and sellers wishing to make a change before the New Year, now is the time to take advantage.  Despite what is being reported in the news media, real estate in Northern California remains a strong investment and the opportunities are out there.  Interest rates remain steady and the demand for well-priced homes remains strong.  Read on. 

Statistics:

Statewide: C.A.R. reported the median resale price of a single-family detached home in California for August as $588,970, a 2% increase over the revised $577,300 median for August 2006. The August 2007 median price increased 0.5% compared with July’s revised $586,030 median price.  Sales activity year-over-year decreased 27.8%, which is less than last August.  Unsold resale inventory in August was sufficient for 11.8 months, compared to – we said 6.8 months a year ago, CAR claims 5.9 months now – of a year earlier. Median number of days till sale was 56, up from 51 a year earlier.

Bay Area August median price, at $655,000, is down a sliver for the month, up a respectable 4% for the year. Sales activity is down 25% for the year, about mid-pack.  Alameda and Contra Costa counties are holding their medians well.  They remain two of the more affordable counties in the Bay Area, with lots of attractive entry-level and move-up housing.  Marin County’s huge jump in median, together with the decline in sales of over a third since last year, points to lots of top-end and all-cash purchases.  Monterey County median leads this month’s pack for month-to-month, but activity is down almost 38% for the year.  Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Counties are showing declines in both median and activity.  Some of this may be attributable to a very weak second-home market.  San Benito County’s roughly 9% decline in median puts it near the middle of the pack.  San Francisco County’s median price continues strong and its year-over-year decline in sales, at less than 14%, is actually the smallest dip for this month.  We suspect that cash purchases, and purchases by overseas buyers, are playing a role here as they are in Marin.  Santa Clara County’s median price took a slight leap between March and April and since then has been in the range of $713,000 to $720,000, which may be able to hold in the face of generally weak medians; sales activity is down almost 35% from last year.  Santa Cruz County’s $669,500 median has dropped from last month’s $720,000, near its historic high.

In Sacramento/Capitol Region, Five zip codes – Granite Bay, part of Auburn, and three areas of Sacramento – had improved medians for August.  In sales, Loomis more than doubled year-over-year; Granite Bay was the only community to show an increase in both sales and median; Shingle Springs and parts of Roseville, Sacramento, and Rocklin also posted better sales.  El Dorado and Placer Counties are holding their own while Sacramento County continues to experience declines in its median, both month-over-month and year-over-year. 

Interest Rates*: Thirty-year fixed rates are 6.82% nationally, but edging up on 7% in California; other statewide figures are 6.59% for conforming 15-year fixed and 6.21% for conforming 5/1 ARM. 

Inventory: Still plentiful in many areas throughout Northern California.  As usual, San Francisco and the Peninsula could always benefit from an increased selection of homes. 

Overall Assessment:  Bank on inventory (in many areas), emphasize curb appeal and staging.  Gently discourage bargain-hunting – yes, prices have cooled in many areas, but sellers still want acceptable return on investment.  Understand that qualifying for a loan may be a collaborative process.  Be ready to match property to prospect carefully, especially with overseas or out-of-area buyers.  Remember, and encourage your clients to remember, that a residence is a long-term purchase and that finding the right one is well-rewarded effort.  If you take advantage of available information and experience, you can still make sellers and buyers – and yourself – happy.

*Area interest rates are reported to be as follows:

Sacramento/Tahoe, San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley regions: Princeton Capital reports that as of October 1, 2007, the 30-year fixed with one point is 6.75%, the 15-year fixed with one point is 6.25% and the 5/1 ARM with one point is 6.375%, on non-conforming loans of $500,000.
