Tax Benefits of Owning a Home
Before a home owner curses the troubled housing market, he or she should take solace in the U.S. tax code, which makes buying a home a good deal for almost everyone.
Here’s why:
Mortgage interest deductions, including in some cases mortgage insurance premiums, reduce home owners’ tax liability by reducing income. The deduction includes interest paid on both a first and a second home.
Interest on home equity loans is also deductible — whether the borrower uses the money to remodel the kitchen or to take a vacation to Disney World.
Profits from selling a house are potentially a huge windfall. When a home owner sells a primary residence, any profit on the sale of the property is tax free up to $250,000 for single home owners and $500,000 for married home owners filing. Any profit above that is nearly always a long-term capital gain taxed at 15 percent — less if the seller’s tax rate is less than 20 percent.
Home owners can itemize. That opens up opportunities to deduct a host of other items that wouldn’t be deductible if the taxpayer took the standard deduction.

Testimonials
Anna,
Heather and I hope that you had a safe, enjoyable and relaxing vacation.
We wanted to say “Thank You” for all of your diligent work in the sale of our existing home and assisting us in purchasing our new home.
Your professionalism, personality and quality work were commendable and admirable.
All of that being said; please feel free to use us as a reference, we’d be glad to share our very positive experience with any of your potential clients.
Thanks for everything. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Todd and Heather
Anna,
After working with 2 other REALTORS I found Anna and she took over just the way I would expect a great REALTOR should. She kept me informed and let me know what was going on with the home. She made recommendations that made sense and when we followed her ideas the home sold. Having been a Real Estate Broker for over 25 years, I found a true professional.
Thanks Anna

My wife and I moved from the LA Metro area to Ohio looking for more affordable housing; we were also first-time homebuyers. Anna came highly recommended to us, and I have to say she is simply the best out there. Always quick to return phone calls and emails, Anna was a dependable realtor who was never more than a phone call away. For the first-time homebuyers, Anna’s knowledge of the market and her skill in negotiations more than made up for our lack of experience in buying a home. In the end we followed all of her recommendations from a mortgage lender to a home inspector, and each time we were pleased from start to finish. If you are looking for a home and a good real estate experience, look no further than Anna Kannal!
