First I want to make sure that you know that you have to use the exchange rate at the date of purchase and then the exchange rate on the date of sale , and the difference in the USD amount between ex rate on the date of purchase and ex rate on the date of sale determines the gain/loss on the property for US taxes.

There is also a possible mortgage gain if you settled a mortgage with the sale of this property.  This gain would be considered ordinary income.  https://www.ustaxfs.com/foreign-mortgage-repayment-exchange-rate-gain/
