🏡 Your kids may not keep your low property taxes when they inherit your home -and most families don’t realize this.

California’s Prop 19 changed the rules.

Here’s the simple version:

If your kids inherit your home, the property taxes may go way up.

To keep some of your lower property tax benefit:

👉 The home must have been your main home
👉 Your child must move in and make it their main home within one year
👉 There are limits on how much of the home’s value is protected

If your child decides to rent the home, use it as a vacation home, or keep it as a second home, the property will usually be reassessed at today’s value.

That can mean a BIG jump in property taxes. 😳

This is why it’s so important for families to understand Prop 19 before they inherit a home.

Have questions about what this could mean for your family? Reach out to us. We’re always happy to help you understand your options. And as always, check with your tax professional before making any real estate changes!

One of the best compliments we hear is:
“I can’t believe how smooth that was.”

We always smile because, behind the scenes, it probably wasn’t. 😂

There are countless conversations, negotiations, vendor calls, lender check ins, inspection issues, escrow updates, and little fires to put out along the way.

Our job is to make it feel easy-even when it isn’t.

STOP!🛑 Now look up at your ceiling fan! When’s the last time you dusted it? Probably longer than you think…

These are the kind of things we look for when first walking the home getting ready to list. Little things matter -trust us!
