Applying a Cash Gift to Your North Shore Home Purchase

Is it better to give than receive? If you are looking to buy a North Shore home, a cash gift from family could help you fund the down payment. It would certainly be good to receive! But there are a few points that you and the gift-giver need to know. Here’s the latest on the subject, quoted from the New York Times:

“If you are giving a cash gift for a down payment, the giver must remember that under Federal law, each individual is permitted to give away money/valuables worth up to $13,000 to a single recipient in a calendar year. A married couple could jointly bestow up to $26,000 to a recipient in a calendar year. Anything above the annual maximum could be considered a taxable gift, and must be reported to the IRS.”

In other words, consult your tax preparer before moving any funds around!

Cash gifts are a hot topic in Newsday as well. Here’s a quick look at how different mortgage types treat cash gifts:

FHA – the entire 3.5% down payment can consist of gifted funds. Because of the loan amount limits on FHA-backed mortgages, you’ll want to ask your lender if an FHA loan would be an option for the price range you’re in.

Freddie Mac – if 80% of the property value is being financed, the buyers would have to produce at least 5% of the down payment from their own funds; the rest could come from gifts.

Fannie Mae – the entire down payment may be from gifts.

Speak to your mortgage lender in advance of receiving gift funds from family. Each mortgage type has conditions about the documentation needed for cash gifts. Knowing the underwriting criteria in advance will help you satisfy the paper trail.

Home ownership is truly the gift that keeps on giving! As your North Shore Real Estate agent, I’m happy to share industry news and information about the Chicago North Shore Real Estate market.

Simplify Your North Shore Home Search!

Overwhelmed by information? You’re not alone! As a North Shore Real Estate agent, I see firsthand the ton of real estate information that floods the media. It can sidetrack a home search and cost you valuable time.

If you’re looking for homes in the North Shore Real Estate market, you can simplify your search with these tips from RISMedia:

List the important must-haves; school district, number of bedrooms and baths, ect.

Obtain a mortgage pre-approval and know your purchase power. This is essential in our current market.

Now that you know your priorities and price range, use the criteria to narrow your home search. Start with my Featured Listings to see examples of beautiful North Shore homes. Personalize your search according to your own criteria on the “Search All Listings” page.

Stay focused on the priorities! Interior photos may not do a home justice, and décor can always be changed. Make a list of the homes that meet your needs and price, in the location you most desire.

Contact me for North Shore market expertise! Having an experienced North Shore Real Estate agent on your side will make for a smooth home buying process.

Whether you’re looking for a home in Deerfield, Glencoe, Highland Park, Northbrook,Winnetka or any of the North Shore communities, I can help you find the perfect home. Contact me to arrange a personal showing of any home in the North Shore area!
