How do cash offers work?
A straight answer on what a cash offer does for a sale, what it costs, and how cash-offer programs compare to open-market exposure.
The short answer
A cash offer removes the financing contingency, appraisal risk, and most delays from a sale. The price discount is the cost of that certainty, not a flaw in the home.
What it changes
A cash offer can reduce financing and appraisal risk and can offer a faster, more predictable closing depending on the offer terms. The tradeoff is typically a lower price than an open-market sale.
Cash Offers+
Cash Offers+ keeps the home's marketing going underneath a reliable cash floor, so a seller can weigh an available cash offer against open-market exposure. No sale price is guaranteed; outcomes depend on the specific written offer and program terms.
Next step
Weigh a cash offer against open-market exposure.
