The purchase date the program is asking for is for the first home.  Enter the date that you purchased the home that you sold on 10/31/23.

Where are you entering dates?  If you are entering the sale then it wants to know when you bought the house you sold.  Not the new house.  You shouldn't be entering anything about buying a new house.  Except for mortgage interest and property taxes paid.  It doesn't matter what you did with the money from the sale like buy a new house.
