Real estate is not a traditional asset class.

I always used to think that real estate / claim to territory was the most traditional asset of all, dating back way farther than our species.

No other species has the recorder of deeds \ title registrar \ court system to enforce claims over territory in absentia without the continual presence of the beneficiary. Even among humans most of Earth's territory is considered common property and not excludable or conveyable personal property when considering the ocean. Practically speaking something is only an asset in a financial context when ownership can be conveyed on paper and pledged as collateral for a loan.

Many animals use urine to "write" their claim to ownership. Trespassers get punished severely, and they know it. The message implies a high willingnes to enforce their claim, even at significant risk. Rivals usually stay away unless they are either desperate or confident that they are superior.

I would argue that these are the instincts that form the basis for our concept of ownership of assets, and predate our modern justice systems by tens of millions of years.

Funfact, if you move in directly after buying, you can sell it even in the very same year tax-free in the gains.

The two years plus 1 day rule applies only of the curse of 10 years, if you haven't moved in directly.

Two years if you live in it is not very different from one year. The 10 years for secondary houses is about preventing house shortages I guess. People need to be able to buy or rent a place to live: nobody needs to own cryptos.
