Just got my CMA back for my home.
Currently owe approx $124k, suggested selling price is $123k. There are also a high & low values, which I assume would be disregarded, so I come in with $0 equity which is great. (P.S. Home appraised for $138k in 2004, so the housing market hasn't tanked near me as bad as I thought).
I'm filing joint, and since I will be using $0 of the Homestead exemption, can I use the full Wild Card joint exemption of $22,400?? Can that be applied to liquid assets (cash & stock) or automobiles? One car is easily within the $3,225 exemption, but the other may be a bit close.
Also, my household goods & furnishings will come in nowhere near the $21,550 allowed.
Things are looking very bright for me, and I hope to be filing by the end of week, I just hope I don't get pushed into a 13 as I'm about $4k above median. I'm not sure how he's got my expenses worked out yet means-test wise, but I'll find all of that out tomorrow.
