New inventory and relisting rates have actually declined month over month which is allowing to pricing to remain elevated.

Selling your share at fair market value could avoid gift tax but may trigger capital gains tax for you based on the sale price and your cost basis.In California, the transfer may also trigger a property tax reassessment under Proposition 13 unless a specific exemption applies.
