What is a 1031 Exchange? FAQ’s and Information on How to Defer Your Capital Gains Tax

What is a 1031 Exchange?

The 1031 exchange, as it is commonly known, derives its name from the section of the Internal Revenue Code which explains the use of a tax deferred exchange. Through this code section, a taxpayer is allowed to defer capital gain tax on the sale and subsequent purchase of investment or business property if the transaction is structured correctly with the use of a qualified intermediary.

Benefits: Leverage, Consolidation/Diversification, Increased Cash Flow/Income, Increased Purchasing Power for Investors. Investors can take advantage of the 1031 tax-deferred exchange to acquire a more valuable investment property. By utilizing the money they would have paid to the IRS in taxes, they can increase their down payment and improve their overall buying power to acquire a more expensive replacement property.
Qualified Intermediary:
For nearly 20 years, Realogy 1031 Services has served as a qualified intermediary during the 1031 exchange process, helping investors to defer capital gains tax on the sale of their business or investment property. I am sharing some information provided by Realogy 1031 Services. Please reach out with any of your 1031 Exchange questions, you have questions, we have answers!

Memorial Day 2022 – Events to Remember Our Military Service Members Who Died While in Active Service

Memorial Day is an American holiday honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

Did you know? Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Here are some local SE Florida events to attend this Memorial Day weekend:

Florida Real Estate Market Trends May 26, 2022

2 of 3 Homes in Florida Selling in Less than 30 Days on Market!

The Florida market is soaring. According to Florida Realtors economist:

2 of 3 Fla. Homes on Market Less than 30 Days

Florida Realtors economist: In 1Q 2022, half of new Fla. listings went under contract in 12 days – but look beyond that one statistic to see the shift in market speed.

ORLANDO, Fla –Florida Realtors market metrics – such as closed sales, median sale price and active inventory – summarize what’s happening in your market. But sometimes, one number can’t present the entire story.

In the first quarter (1Q) of 2022, the median time to contract for all property types in Florida was down to just 12 days. The median is the “middle,” so this means half of the homes sold in 12 days or less. This compares to 24 days one year ago, in 1Q 2021.

You can find out if homes in your local area are moving off of the market faster than the state by reviewing the median time to contract on SunStats, an interactive market tool – a free service as part of Florida Realtors membership.

The median provides a great starting point, but we can slice this data to reveal additional insights into the speed between listing and contract.

A cumulative frequency graph shows the percentage of properties selling under a certain number of days. For instance, if 2% of homes sell on the day they’re listed (0 days), and 3% sell the next day, a total of 5% (or 1 in 20 homes) sold in one day or less.

At 50%, a cumulative frequency chart tells us the same thing as the median time to contract.

Median time to contract plummets graph

The bulge in the lines has shifted toward fewer days for a higher percentage of homes. How quickly are homes selling?

In Florida across all property types, 68% (2 in 3 homes) sold in under 30 days in the first quarter of 2022. One year earlier, in 1Q 2021, about 54% of homes sold in 30 days or less, while only 41% sold at that pace in 1Q 2020. We can zoom in to look at these details.

 

Graph showing 68 of first quarter Florida listings

Recall that 41% of homes sold in 30 days just two years ago; now, in 1Q 2022, 41% of homes sold in a week or less!

You’ve likely experienced this market frenzy since the pandemic uncertainty eased. A home today serves more functions than it did in the past, so buyers who find one that suits their needs swoop it up quickly.

As interest rates rise, demand levels may moderate and push the curve back, however. We’ll follow up with any notable changes in the data as the year progresses.
