A tax rule from 1997. A housing market from 2026. They don't match up anymore❓Christian Kelly, President & CEO of HomeServices of America, is explaining why it matters.

Nearly 30 years ago, Congress set the capital gains exclusion on a primary home sale at $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for couples. It hasn't been adjusted since — not once, even as U.S. home prices have risen roughly 256%.

Read the full article in Mansion Global to see how Kelly's perspective is shaping the conversation on this outdated tax rule 👉 https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/this-1997-u-s-tax-rule-is-keeping-homeowners-stuck-a6fddfcb

📉 Why the $250,000/$500,000 capital gains exclusion "just no longer really applies"
🏡 Why surviving spouses are hit hardest
💰 Why home equity is, in Kelly’s words, "taxing something that was never meant to be taxed"
🔑 Why getting baby boomers comfortable selling matters for the entire housing market

📣 Big news: HomeServices of America, Inc.'s wholly owned mortgage company, Prosperity Home Mortgage, is adding mortgage servicing to the HomeServices portfolio−extending OnePoint, the Complete Real Estate Experience, beyond closing and into the life of the loan.

With mortgage servicing now in-house, HomeServices offers home search, brokerage, mortgage origination, title and escrow, insurance, and servicing, all within one connected network.

Instead of handing homeowners off to a servicer they've never heard of, HomeServices keeps clients connected to the team and the real estate professional they already know and trust.

🎉🏆 Congratulations to Sharon Bulgarelli, our July 2026 Agent of the Month! 🏆🎉

July definitely didn’t hand Sharon the easy ones 😅 — she navigated some big sales, complicated transactions, and more than a few challenges along the way… and handled every one like a pro! 💪🏡

Anyone in real estate knows that getting to the closing table isn’t always a straight line. Sharon’s persistence, patience, experience, and commitment to her clients made all the difference.

👏 Way to go, Sharon! So well deserved — congratulations on an incredible month! 💚✨
