So long as the house is not directly impacted by storm surge, it will remain standing unless it is very poorly constructed. Sustained winds in a category 2 hurricane are in the range of 96-110 mph. The walls of most houses will remain standing in winds up to about 150 mph. Storm surge is usually not very severe in a category 2 hurricane, but waterfront properties could still be in danger. The water of the storm surge carries much more force than the wind.
