Just sold house for $220,000 (had paid $150,000). Buying new house for 217,500. Will I take a capital gains hit on the $70,000 profit? I plan to put $42,000 down on the new house, and will spend the remainder on upgrades and repairs.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you lived in the house over two years, you likely will not have tax consequence. The fact that you bought another house has no affect anymore.
