Why Cash Is King in Today’s Cooling Real Estate Market

The real estate market is shifting. With pending sales slowing, homes staying on the market longer, and buyer activity cooling, sellers are looking for one thing: certainty. That’s where cash offers shine.

The Numbers Speak:

• Cash sales now account for 29% of all transactions—up from 27% just a month ago.

• Pending sales are down 0.8% month-over-month and 2.8% year-over-year, hitting their lowest levels in more than a year.

• Median days on market has risen to 58 days, well above pre-pandemic norms.

What This Means for Sellers:
Leading with a cash offer isn’t just about speed—it’s about control. Cash sets the pace, anchors pricing expectations, and reduces the risk of deals falling apart due to financing.

Convenience Is King:
A Morgan Stanley survey found 77% of U.S. consumers prioritize convenience in their decisions. Sellers are no different. An as-is cash offer taps directly into this mindset: faster, smoother, and more reliable.

Bottom Line:
Cash deals aren’t just closing faster—they’re winning more often. If you’re selling, understanding this shift could mean thousands saved in carrying costs and headaches avoided.
