They are separate transactions so no, you can’t avoid the gain by buying another property unless you are dealing with rental property and a 1031 exchange.

Rolling it over to another house went out in May 1997.  And it was only for your primary house.  So unless you did a 1031 exchange the gain is taxable now.
