Tool · 1031 exchange

The 1031 clock.

Two deadlines start the day your old property closes. Miss either one and the exchange fails — so most people at GEMS with 1031 money are watching this clock.

Day 45 — identify by

Tuesday, December 1, 2026

45 days left

Name your replacement property (in writing, to your intermediary) by midnight.

Day 180 — close by

Thursday, April 15, 2027

180 days left

Receive the replacement property by this day.

Calendar days — weekends and holidays don't move either deadline. A quick reference, not tax or legal advice: confirm every date with your qualified intermediary and your CPA.

Have 1031 money and nothing to put it in?

Put it on the GEMS board as 1031 funds, with your deadlines. The room sees the clock on your listing and brings you property.
