Cash Sales<br />

The number of Closed Sales during the month in which<br />

buyers exclusively paid in cash<br />

Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to<br />

which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are<br />

far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,<br />

whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other<br />

form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so<br />

this statistic should be interpreted with care.<br />

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing<br />

Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not<br />

paid fully in cash) each month involved some sort of financing, such as<br />

mortgages, owner/seller financing, assumed loans, etc.<br />
