What Tax Considerations Should You Know When Selling a Second Home?

Selling a second or vacation home can come with different tax implications than selling your primary residence. While every situation is unique, it’s important to understand the basics before listing.

Some sales may involve capital-gain considerations, depreciation recapture (if the home was rented), or deductions related to improvements and closing costs. I always encourage my clients to consult with a trusted tax professional — and I can help connect you with local experts who understand waterfront and resort-area transactions.

My role is to make sure you have the full picture before you make your next move — and that your sale is smooth from contract to closing.
