Holy shite. According to this site, 1 in 10 home purchases were cash in 2022. Most since 1988.

Sounds like people selling larger more expensive homes and downsizing or buying in a area where housing is cheaper.

Several factors contributed to this.

- Black rock is paying cash.
- Lots of people were paying cash for vacation homes.
- Lots of people were downsizing with the rapid increases in home value.

My best friend sold his house last Summer for a cool $1.1 Mill. Buyer brought cash to the table.

He admits that he sold at the top of the market and no way he get that today. Just like cars bought during the pandemic, whole lotta people are upside down on the houses they bought in the last couple of years.
