If you sell a house any time before 2 years of purchase, you have to incur additional cost and higher taxes. You will be liable to pay short-term capital gains tax at 37%. Beyond tax implications, you will incur moving expenses (average <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home-improvement\/moving-services\/movers-and-packers-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$2,100<\/a>) within the same year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&#8217;re selling a house after 1 year due to unforeseen career changes or family issues, you have some options to save money. You can sell your house within 1 year for cash or sell it through the MLS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you list on the MLS for a flat fee, you may get top-dollar offers from cash buyers and others.

Here are some strategies to make the best of such a situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\" id=\"stage-your-home\"><strong><strong>Stage Your Home<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/what-is-home-staging-and-is-it-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stage your home<\/a>, it may help you sell your house quickly after the purchase. You can earn enough profits to cover your moving and closing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\" id=\"Sell-on-Alternative-Platforms\"><strong><strong>Sell on Alternative Platforms<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to sell your house before 2 years of purchase, sell it to \u201c<a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/we-buy-houses-for-cash-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We Buy Houses for Cash<\/a>\u201d companies.

You can close on your home sale within 7 days with iBuyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\" id=\"Find-Your-Home-Equity\"><strong><strong><strong>Find Your Home\u2019s Equity<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you decide to sell a home after 1 year, it must have some equity and value appreciation. A <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/how-much-is-my-house-worth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home\u2019s value estimator<\/a> can help you know how much is your house worth in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an estimator, you can ascertain if there is a noticeable value increase on your home. A comparative market analysis (CMA) report also gives a fair market valuation of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these ballpark figures, you can determine whether your home sale will be profitable or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"alternative-to-sell-your-house\"><strong>Alternative to Sell Your House After 1 Year of Purchase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t wait for two years and have to sell it just after 1 year of purchase, you can rent the property out. The rental income will offset the mortgage cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you can avoid short-term capital gains tax. If you sell the house after 2 years of ownership, you can qualify for <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/long-term-capital-gains\/#capital-gains-taxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long-term capital gains tax rates<\/a> that are very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"Drawbacks-of-Selling-a-House-After-1-Year\"><strong><strong>Disadvantages of Selling a House After 1 Year<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can legally sell your house the very next day of the purchase. However, there are financial and tax consequences which you may face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong><strong>1. You Have to Pay Short-Term Capital Gains Tax<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sell your home before living in it for at least 2 years, you have to pay short-term <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/capital-gains-home-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">capital gains taxes on property<\/a>. The IRS treats STCG as an ordinary income and levies a higher tax rate of 37%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong><strong>2. You Have to Incur Mortgage Repayments<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have to incur a loss on an early home sale. Your home equity may be less than the due <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/principal-and-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mortgage amount<\/a>. In the initial years, loan companies prioritize <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/average-mortgage-payment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mortgage repayments<\/a> toward the interest amount. Consequently, your principal repayments remains high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a $300,000 mortgage has an EMI of $12,000 in the first year. The bank will adjust just $3,000 against the actual debt and $9,000 against the interest. It leaves you with a $297,000 loan balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you have an outstanding mortgage balance of $297,000. Let&#8217;s say, your house value is only worth $200,000 to date. Here, you are $97,000 underwater and can&#8217;t recover your mortgage from the sale\u2019s proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your principal amount reduces at a slower rate, while interest rates balance out over 30-35 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\" id=\"Moving-and-closing-costs\"><strong>3. <strong>Moving and Other Costs<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving houses again in a short time can cost you a lot.

You may end up in a high-inventory market with low housing demand. Consequently, you won&#8217;t receive a desired price, or your house may get stuck for a long time on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/are-we-in-a-buyers-or-sellers-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Know if you&#8217;re in a buyer&#8217;s or seller&#8217;s market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong>5. <strong>You Will Bear Cost of Buying<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever a property shifts hands, closing costs are involved. When you sell your house, you will have to consider the costs involved with buying a new house. Those costs will be additional to the closing costs of your present house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"can-i-sell-my-house-after-1-year\"><strong><strong>How Soon Can You Sell a House After Buying It?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minimum 2 years possession of a house will give you the most benefits. It lets your home gain more value. You can also cover its sales expenses and avoid extra taxes if you wait for longer times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also save on real estate commissions, closing costs, inspections, and other fees associated with selling. These costs add up to 9%-10% of the sale price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re really in an unavoidable situation to sell the home that you just bought, you can try <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/for-sale-by-owner-websites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FSBO websites<\/a> or <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/selling-a-house-as-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sell your house as is<\/a> for cash.
