It is the correct way to report it, however, you can deduct your share of the selling expenses from the gross proceed. 

 Sales expenses include:

• commissions
• appraisal fees
• broker's fees
• legal fees
• advertising fees
• home inspection reports
• title insurance
• transfer taxes or fees
• geological surveys
• loan charges (points) or other fees paid on the buyer's behalf
• any fees for a service that helped you sell your home without a broker (listing fees, promotional fliers, etc.)

Would the property taxes for the current year paid by the seller which were deducted from the selling price in the real estate transaction be considered sales expenses that can be included on the tax return expenses?

Yes.  If you are not deducting the property taxes anywhere else then you can deduct property taxes paid at closing as "Sales Expenses".
