Timing the Sale: How to Minimize Taxes by Selling Smart

Selling at the right time can influence how much tax you pay.

Timing Tips:

• Hold property for at least a year to qualify for long-term capital gains.

• Coordinate closing near year-end to shift taxes to the next filing cycle.

• If your income fluctuates, sell in a lower-income year.

Bonus: Split sales or partial closings can stagger income and reduce tax pressure.

💡 Key Takeaway: The right month can matter as much as the right buyer — timing is a tax strategy, too.
