Here's the IRS rule:

"Generally, you're not eligible for the exclusion if you excluded the gain from the sale of another home during the two-year period prior to the sale of your home."

https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701

 

So you can't use the exclusion on both of two homes sold during the same tax year.  You can only use it on the first home sold.
