Who buys a house with cash?

Traditionally, cash buyers tend to be concentrated at either extreme of the housing market. On the low end, you’ll see house flippers and investors buying homes that might not qualify for a mortgage due to condition, price or both. At the higher end, there will always be buyers who don’t need a mortgage. That may be because they have plenty of equity from a home sale, they received a gift or loan from a family member, or simply by virtue of being wealthy.

In the current market, however, more and more average home buyers are paying cash. With housing inventory tight and buyer demand high, paying cash is one tactic some buyers are leveraging to win bidding wars.

If you get a cash offer from a buyer who’s more or less a regular, it may go more smoothly than if you’re working with a first-time cash buyer. Tasks like getting a purchase contract drawn up and securing title insurance are nothing new for them.

Investors and iBuyers vs. home shoppers

The category of regular cash buyers includes real-estate investors, house flippers and iBuyers. iBuyers are companies that pay cash for homes, providing an offer within days, if not hours, and allowing sellers to close in as little as two weeks. Though investors and flippers will seek out listings, you have to take the initiative when selling to an iBuyer.

These buyers generally aren’t planning to live in the home. They’re likely to waive an inspection contingency, because they expect to make repairs or upgrades as part of their investment. Not mandating repairs is also one way iBuyers ensure speedy transactions. Because they’re hoping to profit from buying the house, however, investors may make a lower offer than a buyer who’s looking for a place to live.

Why A Cash Offer May Be Better Than A Financed Offer

• Confidence in the deal going through. With cash, the buyer either has the money or they don’t — if you’ve verified the proof of funds, you know you’ll be able to close. Though data from the National Association of Realtors suggests that most sales close as expected — as of April 2021, only 5% of contracts were terminated — some sellers want a greater level of certainty. The same report shows that a closing being delayed is much more common, affecting 22% of transactions over the previous three months.
• Faster process. Even pre-approved home buyers have to get an actual mortgage approval, then go through underwriting. That can take 45 to 60 days. Closing a cash transaction can take as little as two weeks.
• Fewer contingencies. Cash buyers tend to be less likely to request an appraisal, a home inspection or other contingencies.
• Simpler closing. Cash buyers should take it upon themselves to get a title and escrow company, and have an experienced buyer’s agent (and possibly a real estate attorney) to ensure paperwork is complete and correct. Still, without a lender involved, there’s much less to review and sign off on to close the deal.
• No appraisal stress. Lenders require an appraisal before approving a mortgage, since the property is what secures the loan. When home values are rising rapidly, appraisals based on comparable home sales don’t always keep pace, leaving a gap between what a buyer would be willing to pay and what a lender will agree to finance. With a cash offer — and no appraisal — the home’s value is whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

Our team will work with you every step of the way to ensure the process moves quickly and without any problems.
