Too many questions arise to properly respond to your question.  When was the subject property acquired?  I n whose name was it titled?  Where did the down payment come from?

If the house is pre-marital property, he can as he wishes.  If it was acquired after your marriage, you may, depending upon the laws of your jurisdiction, have certain rights.  Consult a competant local attorney.
