Correct, you'd want to get as close as you can to the tax liability so that the balance due on your return is less than $1000. Keep in mind that your other income and withholding figures into it also, so (for example) if you had enough withholding to get a $5,000 refund, absent the real estate sale - and your calculation of the capital gains tax is correct - you'd need to pay in $95,000 to come out at breakeven.
