Cash Buyers Dominating Orange County CA Real Estate Markets

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart, Evergreen Realty

Cash buyers for homes 

Orange County CA home buyers or putting enormous amounts of cash money into the buying process.

During 2012 year, Orange County buyers put $9.06 billion of their own funds into homes – that is cash spent in no-loan purchases plus down payments for sales with mortgages.

19 percent more cash was used for Orange County home buying during 2012 than during the past year 2011.

A shortage of for sale inventory at Orange County leads some sellers to favor cash buyers better than those with mortgages.

This big cash put into deals is a sign of home shopper confidence in Orange County CA homes and real estate.

Hi Harrison - it's amazing how many deals are all cash and many of these are deals being bought close to list which does not necessarily mean by an investor. Regards Dave

Dave ... I wonder how many of the cash deals at Orange County real estate during 2012 were by "investors" and how many were by "home buyers".

Harrison - good question - at the "current" prices I am thinking more regular buyers are winning out as investor type margins are getting harder to come by. Regards Dave

David ... You are right that investors have seen their best days for Orange County CA property buying, with the trench on price probably one year ago.  It would probably be good for our markets and clients if home buyers have better opportunities.
