The short answer is that your medicare premiums might increase if you fall into the "high earner" category. Medicare considers you a high earner if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $97,000 per year if you file your taxes as a single, or $194,000 for married couples filing jointly. If you sell your house any capital gain up to $250,000 doesn't count.
