Smart Homeowner Tips

4HrsohgQDESlUSSnKvVT0g.jpg

1. Take Advantage of Homeowner Tax Benefits

  • Mortgage Interest Deduction: Deduct interest on up to $750,000 of acquisition debt (for loans after 2017).
  • Property Tax Deduction: Deduct up to $10,000 in combined state and local taxes (SALT).
  • Capital Gains Exclusion: Exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) in profit when selling a primary residence, if ownership and use tests are met.
  • Energy-Efficient Home Credits: Federal tax credits available for solar, heat pumps, insulation, windows, and more.

2. Lower Your Monthly Housing Costs

  • Refinance When Rates Drop: Consider refinancing your mortgage to reduce your interest rate and monthly payment.
  • Appeal Property Tax Assessments: If your home’s assessed value is too high, appeal to potentially lower your annual property taxes.
  • Bundle Insurance Policies: Save by combining home and auto insurance with the same provider.
  • Shop for Home Insurance Annually: Rates and coverage vary�review and compare policies regularly.

3. Reduce Utility Bills

  • Conduct a Home Energy Audit: Identify leaks, insulation gaps, and inefficient systems to cut energy waste.
  • Upgrade to Smart Thermostats: Save on heating and cooling with programmable or learning thermostats.
  • Switch to LED Lighting: Longer life, lower power consumption.
  • Seal Windows and Doors: Prevent drafts and reduce heating/cooling loss.

4. Maintain and Protect Your Investment

  • Regular Maintenance: Prevent costly repairs with scheduled inspections (HVAC, roof, plumbing, etc.).
  • Document Home Improvements: Keep receipts to add to your cost basis for tax purposes when selling.
  • Check for Hidden Water Leaks: Early detection prevents mold and expensive damage.

5. Use Your Home for Additional Income

  • Rent Out a Room or ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit): Generate passive income.
  • Host Short-Term Rentals (where legal): Use platforms like Airbnb to offset mortgage costs.
  • Deduct Home Office Expenses: If you qualify, write off a portion of your home-related costs for business use.

6. Plan for Aging in Place

  • Invest in Accessibility Features: Lever-style handles, wider doorways, or a main-floor bedroom can improve safety and long-term livability.
  • Consider Reverse Mortgages: For older homeowners with substantial equity, this can provide supplemental income.

7. Improve Enjoyment and Resale Value

  • Enhance Outdoor Living Spaces: Patios, landscaping, and lighting can boost both daily enjoyment and curb appeal.
  • Renovate Smartly: Kitchen and bath updates often offer strong returns.
  • Paint and Refresh: A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective upgrades.
