It seems to me, this is the extent for which the decline in FMV can be claimed on the tax return. The decline cannot also be included as a casualty loss. Correct?
No, the decline in fair market value that affects the sales price cannot be the casualty loss. Also, a personal loss from the sale of your home will not be allowed to be used against any other income on your tax return.
The casualty loss is the actual loss cost to restore the property to it's original condition when it is in a federally declared disaster area such as the Hurricane Helene you reference.
Deductible losses.
For tax years 2018 through 2025, if you are an individual, casualty losses of personal-use property are deductible only if the loss is attributable to a federally declared disaster (federal casualty loss). Personal-use property is other than business property or income-producing property.
