Sale of jointly owned 2nd house

My father built a retirement home and when my mother passed away 6 yrs later he put all 5 of us children on the deed with him.  He passed a year and a half ago.  We had been on the deed for 5+ years when we sold the house(never rented it or lived in it).  We paid the inheritance tax on his 1/6.  We sold the house, splitting the proceeds.  He paid over $300K to build it, we sold it for $225K.   We received a 1099S. How do I report this?  Can I claim a Capital loss?  Do I have to report it as a Capital Gain?
