No. That report is inaccurate and misleading. See http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp

I somewhat disagree with John. While not a "sales tax", there is legislation that will impose some taxes on a house sale, in certain instances. The law is quite complicated and here is a link that might provide helpful information: http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp
