Home sellers have always gotten a few all-cash offers with the usual lender-financed offers. These days, however, starting back around the time of the pandemic, many more home sellers are taking all cash offers than ever before. Why? Because the market is so hot!

Desperate buyers are making cash offers because they want a house now. They don't want to spend a long time bidding or waiting for an answer. Some cash buyers may even offer far more than the listing price, or put a deadline on their offer like “You have until Monday before we go elsewhere.” As the seller, you are now in the position of deciding on these offers, so let's discuss why they are being offered and [why you might want to strongly consider them.](https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/mortgages/are-cash-offers-better-for-sellers)

## How Can Buyers Offer Cash?
The first thing you're probably wondering is how any home buyer could be offering [all cash for a home](https://better.com/content/all-cash-offers-how-to-make-a-winning-bid-on-a-house/), one of the most valuable things a person can own. But these buyers aren't just wealthy people buying their third or fourth home. There are good reasons why normal people have this cash on hand and why they are offering cash more often now.

First of all, if someone sells their home in this hot market, they probably have cash available to buy their new home. Or they may be emptying inheritance funds or savings accounts to buy property rather than lose the value from those accounts due to rising inflation.

Also of note is how fewer buyers qualify for mortgages or can afford them due to higher borrowing costs. A young family buying their first home may have discovered businesses that buy properties for them with cash, after which the family pays for the home over time.

Many buyers are factoring in rising interest rates and want to avoid a mortgage loan altogether. They might even be the type to buy homes as cheap as possible and no matter the condition because they are prepared to flip the house or rebuild the property, and these types of transactions usually can't involve a mortgage.

## The Benefits Of A Cash Offer
You may be surprised to learn that some home sellers are [taking all cash offers lower than other lender-financed offers](https://money.com/why-home-sellers-cash-offers-lower-bids/), but sales records show this is happening. For a variety of reasons, all cash offers can be more enticing for sellers. Why?

Cash offers have always been more reliable in terms of proving the deal is assured. The buyer simply needs to show they have the cash, so they use this to get an edge in bargaining. Many agents are now more willing to write out cash contracts and they like being done faster too.

Remember that borrowing interest rates or mortgage loan rates are rising fast, which creates a risk of buyers losing their loan contract. If something happens to the buyer before the sale is finalized – anything that lowers their credit score for example – they may not qualify for the loan. 

Mortgage loan paperwork usually takes 30 days to finalize, while cash is immediate and many sellers don't want to keep waiting for a better offer. Sellers may wish to use the money from the sale immediately, such as for dire emergency funds or hot stock investing. Often homeowners just want to be done with the selling process as quickly as possible. Whether it be that they have already purchased their next home, or they just don’t want to continue making payments for their current home, they go for cash offers.

Most lenders require the buyer to have the home fully appraised and inspected so the bank knows it isn’t helping the buyer purchase a problem property. Buyers who really want a house may offer cash to get around needing an appraisal/inspection and sellers take the offer in order to close faster.
