You can give them names. Only clicked buttons send their data with submit. In your template give them appropriate names:

<button type="submit" name="save_home" value="Save&Home">&nbsp;Save&Home</button>
<button type="submit" name="save_next" value="Save&Next">&nbsp;Save&Next</button>

And in your view in the related section, you can check which button is clicked by checkng its name.

if request.method == 'POST':
    form = PriceAssessmentSection1(request.POST)
    if request.POST.get("save_home"):
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('portal_home'))
    elif request.POST.get("save_next"):  # You can use else in here too if there is only 2 submit types.
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('portal_sec2'))

In Django 2.x there is a slight change to the view method @FallenAngel’s answer

if request.method == 'POST':
    form = PriceAssessmentSection1(request.POST)
    # Note change below
    if 'save_home' in request.POST:
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('portal_home'))
    # Note change below
    elif 'save_next' in request.POST:  # You can use else in here too if there is only 2 submit types.
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('portal_sec2'))
