primary residence
Where you live
Primary residence is the home where a person lives most of the time—the address they use for voting, taxes, and legal purposes.
The term matters in real estate and tax law, where different rules apply to primary residences versus vacation homes or investment properties: You can exclude capital gains on the sale of your primary residence.
