@EC101 You might find this link helpful to determine your MAGI for a Roth contribution: Modified AGI. This link will take you to a table the IRS provides. You will note that it starts with your AGI, and then has certain add-backs for what would otherwise be "above-the-line" deductions for the tax return. Excluded income (such as the sale of home exclusion) is not added back. So it will not count towards your MAGI, as @macuser_22 points out.
One strategy you might be able to still use if you cannot make a direct Roth contribution is to make a back-door Roth contribution instead. With a back door, you make a contribution to a Traditional (nondeductible) IRA and immediately convert it to a Roth. Congress is looking into closing this loophole and disallowing the back-door Roth.
