If I buy a property before selling my primary home can I still write of my capital gains? This is a reverse mode. Normally when a primary home is sold one can write-off gains during next primary home purchase. Here I am thinking of buying a new home using personal finances and then sell my existing primary home to move in the new one. Considering in this transaction new home will be bought before my old primary home sold-it can take me 2/3 months to sell my original home, can i still write off gains in selling original primary when I file taxes.
