Orlando FL Real Estate Market Trends for June 2014

July 25th, 2014 by tisner

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

Take a look at how many homes sold in our local Orlando real estate market for June 2014.

Orange County Real Estate Sales Statistics – June 2014

Things To Do Orlando: 5th Annual Lake Conway Wipeout

July 22nd, 2014 by tisner

Lake Conway Wipeout was started in 2010 by a few friends who enjoy water, boats, and laughter.  After watching ABC-TV’s hit show Wipeout one night, a Facebook conversation turned into brainstorming our own version of Wipeout.

lake conway wipeout2014 marks the event’s fifth year, and it has grown from a few boating friends to over 300 boats and over 1,000 spectators.  The 5th annual Lake Conway Wipeout will take place Saturday, July 26th, 2014, from noon until 5:00pm at the sandbar on Lake Conway in Orlando.  The event is only accessible by boat, but Lake Conway does have public boat ramps.

Our crews will set up an inflatable obstacle course at Lake Conway’s sandbar and participants run the course to see who gets the best time.  It is a great family event and kids-only run the course the first two hours of the event.  Come out and laugh at your friends and family bouncing off an inflatable obstacle course on the water. We have great prizes for the winners too!

* Registration for children 8-15 starts at 10:30am until spots are filled. Everyone under 18 needs to have a legal parent or guardian present to sign their waiver form or check in. Also, must walk along the outside of the course with that child!!!!

* Registration for adults 16-up starts at 12:30pm until spots are filled. Again, anyone under 18 needs a legal parent or guardian present to sign the waiver or check in even though you are in the adult category.

* Children 8-15 will run the course from 12pm to 2pm, adults 16-up will run the course from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.

* Award Ceremony is at 4:45pm

The public ramp for Lake Conway is located on Hoffner Ave just east of Orange Ave. The sand bar is at the East side of Big Lake Conway. Check the Facebook page for updates and maps for the ramp and sandbar locations.

The event is free, but we ask you to donate via the following link the proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help wipeout blood cancers.

*Important Notice: This event is only accessible by boat. All of the shoreline near the event is private property. Anyone trespassing will be prosecuted. The shoreline and streets around the event will be monitored by local authorities, and any cars parked illegally will be towed.
