Be ready to start conversations with the people in the grocery store behind you in line.

I have one more year to decide whether to sell it without getting taxed.

Another way to look at it also is if you have a rental and you can increase rent by $100 and sell it in a year for a certain value, are you better off selling it today at another value or holding it for another year and collecting income?

Buyer tries to purchase cheap as they can obtain, seller tries to sell at highest price they can obtain.

Due to age of owner's (70+), money to be made selling ( rapid increase in equity), change in the market area (over crowded beaches/Pigeon Forge strip) and life changes (divorces/death) the owner occupied/2nd home owners sold. 

Selling to out of state investors.

Even then most homeowners are not motivated to sell. 

Or you can sell at a nice profit and reinvest closer to home.

I have been paying a lot of taxes every year from selling stocks and have a high W2.

Really, where I seem to use these most is with a client that has several million in stock market investments and wants access to funds without selling the stocks and paying the capital gains taxes.I probably wouldn't advise this...but you could look around for a custodian that has really cheap margin rates...and open an account there...and then take margin out of the account...That's what I do personally.
