*Cross post-Ways to reduce capital gains for primary home sale

[Ruth Schrader-Grace]

If I sell my primary I know there will be capital gains after 30 yrs of ownership. We will be able to get the $500k exclusion. Is there a way to reduce that huge capital gain hit? And no we have no plans to rent it for a year or to turn it into a rental at all, as we need the money from the sale to pay cash for the next primary.
