It's unlikely that the purchase of the second home would offset the capital gains from the sale of the inherited house. A lot would depend on the legal documents that defined the inheritance and the transfers of title for both homes. Your best option is to consult with a local tax and/or estate attorney who can sort this out and would have a better understanding of your particular situation. A public forum is not the best source for legal advice.
