Since she is the executor under the will she can probably do what ever she needs to do to settle the estate. That could include selling all assets, paying all debts, filling tax returns and then distributing the proceeds (cash) according to the will.
One option would be for you to ask for your share of the estate to include the home. If you both can agree that 80,000 is fair then you would take the home and she would take 80,000 in cash from the estate. Since you are living in the home I would expect you to pay 100% of the expenses since the date of death.
If the home was titled so on death it went to you and your sister (not the estate) then she can not sell without your agreement. She would have to get a court order forcing you to sell. The home would not be part of the estate for probate purposes.
