If you are in a high tax bracket, I would wait until after June 2022 to close on the house, if you can. If so, it will be a long term capital gain and the tax rate will only be about 15-20 percent of the profit, depending on your income. In my opinion, the best option will probably be to just pay the tax. I don't think you need a tax advisor. Any tax preparer can give you the numbers.
