Here are just a few things to consider when preparing to sell your home:

• Should you add-on or Move?
• What Home Improvements Make a Difference?
• Are you making a Capital Improvement to the Home?
• Are you selling your principal residence?  (Note: The Internal Revenue Code allows qualifying persons an exclusion on the gain from their personal residence up to $500,000.)

Even if you’re not thinking about selling your home right now, you might want to consider:

• Are you keeping/have you kept good records?
• Is this the right time to refinance? There are many “rules of thumb” used to determine the right time to refinance a home.
• Should you pre-pay Your mortgage?
• Is your Property Tax assessment too high? If it is, should you challenge it?   The assessment placed on a piece of property is the value that will be used to determine how much tax will be owed when you’re ready to sell your home.
