I’m amazed that the US charge capital gains on primary residence sales - in the UK we have Private Residence Relief which means you pay no capital gains from the sale of your primary residence, so long as you meet some requirements that are very easy to meet and I would say 99% of owner occupiers meet.


99% of American home owners also qualify for full capital gains relief.

Gains greater than 500k are extremely rare outside of certain overly restrictively zoned areas.


Ah, ok
