A lot of the ranting about Boomers on here is misplaced but this one I get. If it was just raw greed that would be one thing. But it's not. It's the cluelessness borne of growing up in a time of great prosperity and strong community, leading to catastrophic effects for others. And it's the panhandling for sympathy from a position of good fortune. |

I'm unironically retarded btw but that seems to be the primary One Weird Trick I've seen with house rich but cash poor Boomers in SoCal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855071&forum_id=2#49804336) |

Date: April 8th, 2026 2:54 PM Author: t.rick o'treat panama yes and no, you keep the original house tax base, but still pay additional property tax on the DIFFERENCE in market value
e.g. purchase home for 500k
sell home for 1m and buy new home for 1.5m
transfer 500k + 500k, new tax basis is 1m
we kept our san jose home (650k purchase price, 1.5m market value) as a rental as it's the only way we'd be able to afford to move back to ca in the future. either we move back to that home, or 55+ we can sell it and buy a new home and transfer the tax basis
unfortunately, from a retirement perspective, ca feels risky from an income tax perspective and potential 'wealth/inheritance' tax |

Date: April 8th, 2026 2:56 PM Author: Darnell the article mentions straighforward ways around this like renting to family, renting + 1031, and death + stepped up basis.
it's also more annoying but the ladder approach of moving every 5-15 years to cash in on 500k in tax free gains each time can work too
it's 95% a psychological barrier |
