Home Staging Timeline For Busy PeopleStaging your home can be a long and involved process. Many homeowners start the process too late to accomplish everything they want to accomplish because they fail to realize how much can go into home staging. For many people, there's only so much time in the day that can be spent preparing the home to sell, so starting this project a year in advance can help.

What Repairs Will Improve Curb Appeal?Before a home goes on the market, whether luxury, an oceanfront property or otherwise, making basic repairs can boost the curb appeal and make the property more impressive to buyers. Repairs that have big visual impact are more helpful for improving curb appeal of your Mantoloking home for sale. Knowing which repairs to make to your home can help you sell your property more quickly and can even lead to bigger offers.

Front Door Makeover

A well-maintained front door can leave buyers wanting to step into a home and see what's inside. Painting over old scratches, brightening the color and installing new hardware can make an old door look like new. This is a good project for a weekend and can be done by any capable DIY-er.

What to Know About the Capital Gains Tax When Selling Your HomeIf you're fortunate enough to make more than $250,000 on a Manasquan, NJ home you bought and lived in, you might be liable for some tax when you sell it. But many people believe that it's actually a small price to pay.

However, the truth is that it's rare for a person to actually realize a quarter of a million dollars in true profit from a home sale, even a luxury or waterfront home; and couples are authorized double that amount, $500,000. Even if you are liable for payment on long-term capital gain of more than half a million dollars, the 20 percent top rate on the difference is probably worth it.
