Can a MFJ return limit home exclusion to $250,000 for recently married couple with two houses to sell in separate years?

Both houses would qualify for exclusion if they had not got married

If you are asking if one spouse can exclude the gain from their house, and the other spouse exclude the gain from their house, yes, each can do that on a Joint return.  It is hypothetically possible the IRS would question it, but it is allowable.
