Not a CPA, but if you have lived in your primary residence greater than 2 years, unless it has changed, you won't pay capital gains on it.

raw land would have capital gains and could use a 1031 only if you are buying another investment property not to buy primary residence.

I am a CPA. The rule is must live in 2 of the last 5 years and you get at 250k deduction on increased value (500k if married and spouse claims as primary residence as well).

Second statement is correct.
