Can I claim a loss on our home if it is sitting on the market but we do not reside in the home?

There is no realized gain or loss until the home is sold.  If a personal residence, when sold no loss can be claimed.

If the property is being rented or held out for rent, then you could claim a rental deduction.

The Mortgage interest and property taxes on the home are still an itemized deduction.
