| Jan 7, 2023 at 13:23 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | Another example is Denmark: There isn't any tax on capital gains buying/selling a house you live in (unlike, say, United States). 0%. The interest is also (partially) deductable. | |

| Jan 6, 2023 at 5:48 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | In Germany, you get many more fiscal advantages if you rent a flat you bought than if you live in it. I guess many lawmakers bought flats and rented them, so why not make it easier for themselves? | |
| Jan 5, 2023 at 22:40 | comment | added | jmarkmurphy | While that tax advantage does not effectively exist for the whole life of the loan, When I purchased my house, for about the first 2/3 of the mortgage period, the interest was sufficient to make itemizing worth wile. And I had a fairly low interest rate. | |
