This is covered in great detail on this page (scroll down and read the section about the Corruption Limit).

Short answer: No, you don't have to start over. You just can't have too much corruption too close to your house, so you need to clear out more corruption around your house. Whether that means using purification powder, mining it out, blowing it up with dynamite, etc. is up to you.
