Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.

Good afternoon. Your partner is going to be liable for more than just the loss because he is guilty of fraud. He basically sold something he did not own. Not only do you have a civil suit for fraud, which will entitle you to your actual damages, but it will also entitled you to punitive damages. You also have the option of contacting the district attorney's office to pursue criminal fraud prosecution as he clearly knew he did not own 100% of the property, yet intentionally proceeded to sell 100%.
