“And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.” Mark 2:1
Mark expects the reader to know the house in question. How likely is it that it was his own house?

We are not told the answer to this question so we do not know. The "home" in Mark 2:1 refers to Jesus' home town.
Note the helpful comments of Ellicott -
(1) And again he entered into Capernaum.—See Notes on Matthew 9:1-8. St. Mark alone names Capernaum, St. Matthew describing it as “His own city.” The house may have been Peter’s, as before in Mark 1:29.
The Expositor's Commentary is similar:
the house Either His own house, which He occupied with His mother and His brethren (Mark 3:21), or possibly that of St Peter.
-
The home refers to the house which would later have a hole made in its roof. And it went from a house he could go back to (whether his own or another’s) to no where to lay his head. Jul 29, 2022 at 16:12
