Q. Do I have to sell after11/3/21 (2 years) to be allowed to get capital gains exclusion again?
A. Yes. From Pub 523:
Generally, your home sale qualifies for the maximum exclusion, if all of the following conditions are true.
-
You didn’t acquire the property through a like-kind exchange in the past 5 years.
-
You aren’t subject to the expatriate tax.
-
You owned the home for 2 of the last 5 years and lived in the home for 2 (1 if you become disabled) of the last 5 years leading up to the date of the sale (limited exceptions available).
-
For the 2 years before the date of the current sale, you didn't sell another home on which you claimed the exclusion.
