Sale of foreign home

Complicated situation:

 

Before July 2014 wife and I lived at parents, no home ownership.

 

In July 2014 I acquired a piece of land.

Wife and I build a house on that patch of land.

She moved in August 2016, I moved in November 2016. 

 

We moved out in April 2017, relocated to the USA. Sister went and lived in the home rent-free. 

 

We rented in the USA ever since.

 

We sold the house May 2019. 

 

So, how do I correctly file taxes on the money that we made/lost on the sale of the house? 

 

Can we define this as our main home?
