Yes it is always possible that may be required to pay some capital gains tax on the sale of your first house.

Do you have to pay taxes on deceased mother's house when it sells
To avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of your primary residence, you must live in the house for at least two of the five years preceding the sale. This is known as the "ownership and use test." If you meet this requirement, you may be eligible for an exclusion of up to $250,000 in gains for single filers and up to $500,000 for married couples filing jointly.

Do you have to pay taxes on deceased mother's house when it sells
Revenue is income from labor, services, etc. Usually it is taxed at the highest rate. Capital gains is income from buying a stock or a house at one price and selling it at a profit. Usually it is taxed at a lower rate due to the fact that some of the capital gain is due to the government printing money or expanding the money supply. In other words, you by a house and sell a house for more, but you really just have enough money to buy another house, that is more money but not more purchasing power. Where it gets tricky is in hedge funds where the manager is paid a management fee out of capital gains. It has similarities to revenue, but is taxed at the lower capital gains rate.
If left a house in a will in New York State, do I pay capital gains? Keith Hudak
Not simply by not living there.
No. And if neither house is your main home (primary residence) you will have to report the sale of both houses on your income tax return and be subject to income taxes on the sale of the capital gains on both houses.
