***Please note that we pull these Livingston home sale prices and stats from the GSMLS statistics, so "Original Listing Price" and "Days On Market" only include its current listing, not the full history of a listing. For example,if the listing agent took it off the market to change the price and put it back on as a new listing, the previous listing is not included in gsmls' Original List Price or Days On Market calculations. If you'd like to know the complete history of a specific listing, we'll be happy to get you that information. Furthermore, when we pull comps for you prior to any home purchase, we will provide a more in depth analysis for you.

Tax Considerations >Not at ARMs Length
A sale of a house is just a sale, right? Not necessarily. If you are selling your house to your children or transferring title outside the open market, then the transaction may be characterized as "not at arm's length". Since such a transfer may have tax consequences, you should discuss it with a tax attorney or accountant before taking action.
The transfer of title to a son or daughter may cause the parents to lose favorable property tax treatment, require the payment of state gift taxes, or have other unexpected consequences. From a capital gains point of view, it may be more prudent for children to inherit property than to receive it as a gift. The disposition of any real estate should be considered within the entire framework of your tax and estate planning.
For answers to all your real estate questions, consult experienced professionals who are familiar with this area.
