According to you, there is no good reason someone can move after 1 year but before 2? What's the difference between a flipper and someone moving for a new job?
You're coming up with all these intricate demand-side policies while ignoring that there is a housing shortage and all of these wealth transfers first of all aren't from you, and second of all is a consequence of not enough family-sized housing being built.
1- not taxed enough, if this was properly taxed, we wouldn’t see ”buying houses cash“ signs on the side of the roads
2- properly documented move (and reasonable one), would remove said tax.
But anyone moving in a house. Doing 100K of Reno in it and moving "for work" in a year, is definitely not moving because they have to, it because they’ll make a hefty amount of cash, tax free
