[quote=SK in CV] . . . My siblings and I all had homes where we were quite content, so, like most people in our position, we decided just to sell the house rather than to save a few bucks in property taxes and live in a house that none of us wanted to live in.[/quote]
Okay, SK, fair enough. But, just so we’re on the same page, the tax savings is more than a “few bucks.” It adds up to many, many thousands of dollars over the course of the lifespan of a typical retiree.
If you all don’t mind, I don’t mind … but I (if given this oppt’y), would have done everything in my power to make “mom’s house” mine, whether or not I chose to actually reside there 🙂
