45 days to identify replacement; 180 days to close. No extensions.

Expanded explanation

Clock starts at sale closing. Identify up to 3 properties (or more via 200%/95% rules). Use a Qualified Intermediary — you cannot touch the proceeds.

Examples

  • $500k sale on Jan 1 → identify by Feb 15 → close by Jun 30.
