Primary Home Tax Free Gain - To take or Not is the question

@Jil

There is a 1031 exchange where you do not pay any tax on rental property sale.

If you apply that logic, then your conclusion will be different.

By all means Scenario A is better than Scenario B unless the owner needs money right away.

@Jil Would you say your recommendation for the original question I posted on this thread has changed in view of the current and anticipated market conditions?
