If you pay $X for a house and get a mortgage($Y), you can deduct the interest under the new tax structure if the cost is less than or equal to the entire price you paid for the house as you stated. So yes, ( $X - $Y ) would be a valid amount. In addition, any major improvements made to the house since the purchase can be financed and deducted, or can accumulate and be used as an addition to $X( original price ).
