Imagine paying less to let your house collect dust than to actually sell it. Sounds backward, right?
Well, thanks to capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture, some homeowners are doing exactly that—and it’s helping keep inventory tight. Welcome to real estate math, where sometimes doing nothing costs less.

A new analysis finds that in some metros, the tax hit from selling can be higher than years of holding costs—adding another force to a tight housing market.

Many buyers want to move in 2026 but feel stuck waiting to sell their current home. This article explains how tools like bridge loans and equity-based financing can reduce stress, strengthen offers, and give buyers the flexibility to move forward without perfect timing.

I work with a trusted preferred lender who can help buyers understand these options early and decide what truly makes sense. If you or someone you know feels stuck between selling and buying, call me at 312.246.4019 to start the conversation.

In today’s market, many buyers want to move, but may feel stuck until they sell their current home. Whether it’s timing, uncertainty, or the fear of carrying two mortgages, this hesitation can slow momentum for both agents and clients. But here’s the opportunity: buyers have more financing too...
