Ah, this makes it simpler. You are allowed to deduct interest and taxes on a second home, so even if you are now living elsewhere, these items for your former residence are still deductible in full for 2019.
During the closing next month, make sure to ask the title company what the net property tax is that you are paying for 2020 on the home. This is because the title company will handle prorating what you pay versus what the buyer will pay, and it will be much easier for them to tell you at the time rather than looking it up later from the closing papers (be sure to write down their answer on the closing papers!).
As for the mortgage interest, your lender will send you a 1098 in early 2020 with the actual amount of interest you paid in 2020, and you will use that number on your 202 tax return.
