Assume they bought a house for $30,000 and when Dad died, it was worth $400,000.Who said anyone bought a house at that price when "dad died"? That's a totally different scenario. |

She certainly can afford this because she just got a check for $500,000How do you know she never took out an equity loan or reverse mortgage on the house? |

Generally their husbands died maybe 10-20 years ago, not 40 years ago (though there are exceptions). By 1995 houses were already pretty expensive - most of the gain between 1960 and 2011 occurred by the mid-90s. |

If you were a young couple that bought a house in the 60's, you are now in your 70's. That's when many people retire, move away, or move in with kids so they sell the house. The point? |

Prior to 1997, you didn't pay a PENNY in taxes thanks to a "one time exclusion" of 100% of whatever you sold it for. This deal was made by that 1997 Congress to replace the older method. So seniors that didn't sell back in 1996 or earlier missed out ... |

They don't necessarily keep it for themselves, they pass it down to their children since homes in such areas do retain their values quite well, houses in such areas are worth keeping as Long Island wasn't hit in areas such as Florida where prices literally crashed. |

Currently valued in the mid $600,000 (based on recent offer by agent, even though house is not for sale).Same thing would have held true for my parents, if they had lived. House in Brooklyn (Midwood) purchased for $23,900. Current value = $575,000. |

Some people want to get away from NY winters. Others may want to get away from Long Island's oppressive property tax, heating oil and electric costs. The bottom line is that I can sell my home for $400,000 and buy a comparable home in Florida for $200,000 - while reducing my other costs by half, there is a real gain in the standard of living to be had. |

You are correct, Long Island (as well as most of the NYC metro area) wasn't hit nearly as hard as much of the rest of the country. While obvously it isn't 2007 there either, the value Long Island lost is only the value that was gained between 2001 and 2007. Most homes are still worth at least over double what they were in the 1990's. |

Fine, so assume your in-laws sold today for $600,000 net, a gain of $575,000. Subtract the $500,00 exemption and they owe 3.8% on $75,000 or $2,850. A pittance compared to what the check they deposited from the sale. |

Plenty of people scale down and move to Florida (and I put florida in quotes and said fill in a blank, which you ignored). But let's use Florida. You can sell your $600,000 home on Long Island, stop paying $19,000 in taxes for that, retire to Florida to some Condo for less than a fraction of that, and pay much less taxes. And FURTHERMORE, I also mentioned moving in with a daughter or son which many do (thus sell the house). Or move out of a larger home with large upkeep (another thing you failed to consider in trying to do your usual putting my posts down). Or move to a condo where there's now exterior maintenance. There's MANY reasons for someone elderly to NOT stay in their too large, expensive, high upkeep, with no family around home.Try again. |

I think thats false as well, those who can afford such houses, Ive seen actually buy the property in Florida and keep their LI home, simply because of the value. You don't want to go and buy a place which loses value. Those who usually buy in Long Island are well aware of the taxes and Suffolk is cheaper than Nassau in taxes (though expensive). Also by using the stats about the housing crash, people ARENT moving to Florida at least the 2011 census says so. NY is better than Florida anyway... Florida is ... boring. |

If you buy in Florida, get a condo, not a single family home. You can get something cheaper, close to the beach or rivers and not have to deal with maintenance.Florida is fun for a few weeks at a time, but it's too hot and it gets old fast. |

I inherited a place in Sunrise (Pine Island Dr.) about 15 years ago and sold it as I had no use for it at the time. I'm finding I can buy "the same" condo for 1/2 of what I sold it for. I'm more interested in possibly Ponce's Point, though. |

Suffolk is absolutely cheaper in taxes (and homes too, depending on where you are of course.
