In 2024, approximately 51,000 cash home sales took place in the United States. Despite the number of cash transactions declining since the peak in 2021, it remained elevated compared to the long-term average. This can be attributed to the substantial increase in mortgage rates following the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite cash purchases growing in popularity, the majority of home purchases were financed with a conventional mortgage in 2024.Â
