Home Buyer’s Tax Savings…
November 5th, 2007HOMEOWNER COULD REAP $8,000 ANNUALLY IN TAX SAVINGS

There are numerous tax benefits of homeownership available to filers, according to a Research Briefing Paper released by C.A.R.’s Research and Economics Dept. In addition to home equity gains that can be shielded from income tax through the sale of a home, there also are interest and property tax deductions available to homeowners when tax time approaches.
According to the paper, the purchase of a single-family home in California today at the current median price of $471,620 would generate a property tax deduction of approximately $4,700 each year .. about 1 percent of the property value. Over a 12-month period, mortgage interest paid would total $26,750, assuming a 20 percent downpayment and a mortgage interest rate of 5.71 percent. That translates into a total tax savings for homeowners in the 25 percent tax bracket of approximately $8,000 for the first year of homeownership.
