Miami Home Sales are Primarily Cash Sales

Buying and selling Miami real estate is a luxury all on its own, whether you’re buying a new house to call home, looking for a vacation rental or investment property, or you’re ready to sell your home and move on to your next grand adventure, Miami Real Estate is often full of cash sales. Unlike other areas in the country, Miami sees the most cash sales year-round, a huge perk for many sellers as well as buyers. So, what are the reasons that so many buyers and sellers prefer cash sales?

Less Contingencies

Seller’s love all cash offers for many reasons, however one of the main ones is simply the lack of contingencies that are often tied with an all-cash offer. All cash offers are generally ready to purchase the home as is, and the offer is generally free of contingencies making the sale of the home quite simple for the seller. Additionally, these offers also generally require no seller credits or repairs prior to the sale. 

Lower Price 

When offering an all-cash offer, oftentimes, buyers are able to secure real estate for less than if someone had offered to purchase the home through traditional financing, making all cash sales extremely appealing to buyers who are hoping to purchase real estate in a more affordable price range.

No Credit Checks

This may sound like a red flag; however, this is a huge pro for buyers. Whether for foreign buyers who are looking to purchase a home and start a new life and unfortunately haven’t been able to build up credit yet, or for those who have poor credit scores but have saved up to purchase a home outright.
