Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Report for June 2014

Monday, July 28, 2014
by The Hat Team

If you sold your primary residence and made a profit, you may be able to exclude that profit from your taxable income. Here's how it works.

Individuals can exclude up to $250,000 in profit from the sale of a main home (or $500,000 for a married couple) as long as you have owned the home and lived in the home for a minimum of two years. Those two years do not need to be consecutive. In the 5 years prior to the sale of the house, you need to have lived in the house for at least 24 months in that 5-year period. In other words, the home must have been your principal residence. Just like calculating capital gains, the formula for calculating the gain or loss involves subtracting your cost basis from your selling price.

The formula for calculating your cost basis on your main home is as follows:

Purchase price

     + Purchase costs (title & escrow fees, real estate agent commissions, etc.)

     + Improvements (replacing the roof, new furnace, etc.)

     + Selling costs (title & escrow fees, real estate agent commissions, etc.)

     - Accumulated depreciation (for example, if you ever took the office in the home deduction)

     = Cost Basis

And then calculating your profit or loss would be:

Selling price

     - Cost Basis

     = Gain or Loss

Now let's look at how many homes were sold in Midtown Montgomery during June.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for June 2014, show the number of homes sold decreased by 27% when compared to June 2013. The average sales price increased by 3.8% to $210,426 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 6.7%, and market times decreased by 47 days from June 2013.  The highest selling price increased by 45%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 64% compared to June 2013.

Midtown Montgomery  June 2014 June 2013
Homes Sold 26 36
Average Selling Price $210,426 $151,658
Median Selling Price $155,750 $93,000
Days On The Market 181 134
Highest Selling Price $870,000 $600,000
Lowest Selling Price $15,000 $9,100

Summer Care For The Gardens of Your Montgomery AL Home

Thursday, July 3, 2014
by The Hat Team

It certainly appears that summer heat is here to stay.  While we humans have the ability to limit our time outside and escape to the relief of air conditioning and fans, the plants in the gardens of your Montgomery AL home are not so fortunate and must withstand high temperatures and frequent dry conditions.

gardenJust as we make an extra effort to watch over young children and the elderly during the summer months, so, too, we need to be aware of the needs of our plants.  The following tips should be useful in ensuring enduring greenery through the fall:

  • Dead heading:  Remove the spent flowers (called "deadheading") as they die, so the plant can put its energy into producing more flowers. This is particularly beneficial for geraniums, marigolds, roses, and most perennials.
     
  • Cutting back: When greenery such as petunias, impatiens, and trailing types of plants become long and spindly, cut them back by one-third to one-half and then fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer.
     
  • Weeding:  Although you most likely put down a thick layer of mulch when you first planted, those pesky weeds do have a way of cropping up.  Every few days check the gardens for weeds and pull them as needed. It is easier to pull weeds if the soil is moist.  If you must use a chemical weed control, check to see if it is selective or non-selective.
     
  • Watering:   Proper watering is critical to your plant's health, but frequent, shallow watering (rain, sprinklers, etc.) leads to shallow root systems and thus a low drought-tolerance.  Click here for a deep watering schedule and tips that will be most beneficial to the landscaping of your Montgomery AL home.
     
  • Fertilizing:  In addition to keeping the vegetation in the gardens of your Montgomery AL home healthy, fertilizing will also help keep your soil in good shape in case of drought or a stretch of extremely hot weather. Acid-loving species (camellias, gardenias, and azaleas) as well as those displaying yellow leaves will be especially appreciative of your diligence.

Remember, too, to take precautions to maximize your own well-being when engaged in any outside gardening projects.  Be vigilant about drinking plenty of water, taking frequent rests, and protecting your skin.  Be alert for signs of heat exhaustion and dehydration.  For specific tips on caring for yourself while gardening in the summer months, click here.
