Hi,
I live in CA. I'm entering into a 1031 exchange. My 1031 exchange
facilitator informed me today that the time limit to identify properties
which I'd like to purchase under a 1031 exchange has increased from 45
days from the day of closing on the property you are selling to October
16, 2023. This is because of extreme conditions in my area. The
extension applies to the county in which one lives, not the county in
which the property for sale is located. (My primary residence, which is
the one that qualifies for the extension, is in a different county than
the property that I'm selling. Luckily, both counties are included in
the extension.)
The requirement to close the 1031 sale is still 180 days from the close
of the property that you are selling, but the extension does give you
more time to identify a property that you'd like to buy within a 1031
exchange.
Call a 1031 expert to see if your area is included.
HTH.
