No. The new house has a lock in period of 3 years.
There is no lock in period as far as sale of new asset is concerned.

The condition is to hold it for 3 years but in case if it is sold before that than whatever deduction was availed under section 54 shall be charged to tax in the year in which new asset is sold. Take care of section provisions.
You are required to hold the house 2 for 3 years and than after you are eligible for sold that.
