What tax break? I think you just quoted the capital gains tax rates[1]. That's a tax, not a tax break. Those rates apply to all capital gains, not just houses.

What tax break? I think you just quoted the capital gains tax rates[1]. That's a tax, not a tax break. Those rates apply to all capital gains, not just houses. They're basically the same every year. The numbers increase each year for inflation. There actually is a tax break, the paragraph after what you quoted. But I don't think that's new or ending soon. So that's also not something that would trigger people to sell now rather than in a year from now.
