The rise in all-cash purchases began in 2007 as the housing bubble popped, and cash purchases accounted for nearly a third of all purchases by 2011.

With over 50 percent of purchases falling in that range, it means that a large group of homebuyers will be a bit less likely to face all-cash offers. In this middle range of home prices, Washington, D.C. (15%), Denver (16%), Baltimore (14%), Portland, Ore. (18%) and Boston (20%) had the lowest percentage of all-cash buyers.<\/p>\n<h2>Financed Purchases Not Back to 2000 Levels<\/h2>\n<p>In 2000, across the 17 metros, there were 800,000 home purchases financed with a mortgage. By 2011, that number had plummeted to 440,000 and had only recovered to 520,000 in 2013. And while interest rates today are still appealing, tighter lending standards mean less-qualified buyers who don\u2019t have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up have not entered or re-entered the housing market. Mel Watt, the overseer of Fannie and Freddie (who back the majority of new mortgage loans), recently said we should be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/events\/2014\/05\/13-future-fannie-mae-freddie-mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">making more credit available to homeowners<\/a>. But there is a sliver of good news: Financed home purchases have been on the rise since 2011, while all-cash purchases remained flat from 2012 to 2013. If this trend continues, financed buyers will face fewer situations where they are competing against all-cash buyers.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19211\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/all-cash-and-financed-home-purchases.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/all-cash-and-financed-home-purchases.png\" alt=\"All-cash and financed home purchase volume from 2000 to 2013\" width=\"510\" style=\"width:510px\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19211\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All-cash and financed home purchase volume from 2000 to 2013<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 17 of the largest U.S. cities, 32 percent of homes purchased so far in 2014 were paid for with all cash.
