现在住的房子是2005年7月份买的,已经住了三年半,当时全部downpay 的。
明年5月份就要搬家去别的州,准备把房子卖掉。
家里一共就两口人,目前都是F1 身份,
明年4-5月份,搬家的时候,其中一个会变成 OPT,另一个还是F1
有没有人有过类似的经验? 非公民,没有绿卡的外国人,在美国怎样卖房子?
自己可以操作吗?还是一定要请 agent 来操作?
自己出售房子的话,手续大概是怎么样的?有什么要注意的?
麻烦大家给点建议吧?
万分感谢~~~

这个应该跟身份没有关系。。。。。。。。。。找Agent卖要付一定百分比的Commission,所以有些人现在自己卖。。。。。。。

是啊,因为卖房子前要先装修修理一下,接着搬家又要花不少钱,
所以考虑自己卖卖看。
太谢谢mm 了。
The selling process should be all the same as residents just as other MMs have said. However, if you file your tax return as a nonresident alien (1040NR), there are some tax issues you need to be aware of.
First of all, you need to pay taxes on any gain from the sale of your home if you file 1040NR for the year when you sell your house. Only residents are eligible of the $250,000 exemption on gain from sale of principal residence.
Second, if you file 1040NR, the buyer must withhold (and send to IRS) 10% of gross sale price which is called "FIRPTA withholding". This is for nonresident alien only. You can get all or part of the 10% back when you file your tax return, depending on the total tax calculated.
Therefore, i feel the best thing to do is to wait until at least one of you become a resident and can file 1040.
