A real estate capital gain refers to the
difference between the sales price and purchase
price of a property. That difference is a
capital gain. In reality, the difference in
purchase and sales prices may be adjusted for
improvements, depreciation taken and other
influences for income tax purposes.
The converse of a capital gain is a capital loss.
When the sales price is less than the purchase price
(adjusted for certain items, of course) the result is
a capital loss.
Capital gains and losses can also refer to other
assets such as securities and personal property.
Capital gains can be offset by capital losses for
income tax purposes. Capital gains have their
own income tax rate which is separate from ordinary
income and usually more favorable due to the usual
duration of many years of ownership.
