I would like to see a study of the economic effect of raising the exemption on capital gains taxes on personal residences. Married couples can now exempt up to $500,000 on capital gains taxes on their personal residence every five years - maybe every two years. Instead of rolling over the equity when they buy a new house, they are probably spending it, because the interest deduction on a personal residence is also a good tax break. Or maybe they're putting it into the stock market?
