How do I sell and downsize without ending up with nowhere to live?
Sell-and-downsize timing works best with a plan for the gap in the middle, whether that means a rent-back agreement with your buyer, a short-term rental, or a purchase contingency tied to your own sale. Joel Boss builds that sequencing into the offer and closing dates from the start rather than leaving it to chance. The goal is a closing date on your sale that lines up with move-in on the next place.
Do I have to pay capital gains tax when I downsize?
Downsizing triggers a capital gains question only if the sale price of the old home exceeds its tax basis by more than the exclusion available to an owner-occupant who lived there long enough to qualify. Most longtime homeowners in a rising market do see some gain, though a meaningful portion is typically excludable under federal rules before any tax is owed. The exact numbers depend on purchase price, improvements and sale price, so a CPA should calculate it using accurate inputs.
I am buying in Roswell to downsize from a house. What should my agent flag that a first-time buyer would not care about?
Downsizing buyers in Roswell need an agent who checks things a first-time buyer usually ignores, like whether furniture from a larger house will fit, how much storage a smaller floor plan offers, and whether HOA rules restrict changes a downsizer wants to make. Joel Boss also flags one-level living, maintenance load and resale considerations, since a downsizer is often planning for the long term rather than a starter home. Timing the Roswell sale against the new purchase matters more here too.
