No, you do not have to wait until next year to claim your house.
The expenses you can claim for your house would be entered on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.
However due to the increase in the standard deduction this year ( $12,000 if you are single or use married filing separate status $24,000 if you are a married joint-file. $18,000 if you are head of household) it is more than likely that you will use the standard itemized deduction rather than itemizing your deductions.
