principal residence

Main Home

The place where one lives most of the time. The main home is important to persons who own multiple properties because vacation homes and investment properties are taxed differently than the main home. In particular, one is not required to pay capital gains tax on the sale of a main home, provided one then buys another main home of equal or greater value. A main home is also called a principal residence.
