Welcome slimkins,

If your neighbor is selling off the property to you, then he will be liable for paying the capital gains taxes. The capital gains tax will depend upon the amount of profit your neighbor will be making from the sale of the property. You won't be liable for paying any taxes. If your neighbor wants to reduce the capital gains taxes, then it will be better if he could contact a tax adviser in this regard.

You have 2 years to purchase another home, to avoid the capital gains tax. Its called a tax deferment exchange. Take a look into this and you will find much more info to help you in this situation. Good Luck
