In the tax year you sold the home. There's a couple ways to extend but you basically have to be prepared to buy.

That second home you found on the 1st page for $500k with the huge boathouse was the bomb. I’d jump on that for that price. Of course I would definitely have to get an estimate on the taxes for that little slice of heaven but I can’t image them being more than what he’s already paying in California.

I think my best move would be to sell my Ca home now with prices inflated. Rent locally, still working the next several years, wait for prices to drop in both places. Then buy small in Ca and rent out, and buy in LOTO for primary residence. Thanks to all for all the valuable feedback.

Yeah, it's a cool spot. I like the thought of being on the main channel for the entertainment value but FUK, I've seen the wakes the big yachts throw all day. Holy crap. I couldn't imagine how bad that dock gets beat to sh!t.

I've been eye ballin this place for a while. Cool spot, in a cove, nice house, decent price, lots of creature comforts.

To qualify for that exclusion, the following must be true:
  • You've owned the home for two of the last five years.
  • You used the home as your principal residence for two of the last five years.
  • You haven't used the exclusion on another property sale within the last two years.
Additionally, if you're married filing jointly, both you and your spouse must meet all the requirements for you to get the exclusion
Doesn’t your next purchase have to be more as well?

nice looking place, those docks are packed in there like cord wood, you'd be hard pressed getting a big boat in and out

This is the place we loved but couldn't stretch the extra $250k so we are using it as a model/guide for our lot and build. Ours will be a bit more contemporary but the same level lot and cove setting
