Unlocking the Power of Cash Purchases with The Michael Creed Team at Luminate Home Loans in 2024

Michael Creed • May 1, 2024

The 2024 real estate market is challenging, to say the least. Battling against multiple bids, the emotional toll, and the pressure from competing offers can be quite disheartening. Remarkably, 32% of home sales are now being secured by buyers who pay in full with cash, highlighting the significant advantage that comes with having liquid assets at your disposal.

This trend towards cash purchases highlights a market dynamic where speed and reliability are paramount, particularly as home prices rise amidst a limited supply of properties. In this environment, it's wise to explore every available option to facilitate the sale of your current property and ensure the acceptance of your offer on a new home.


Exploring Alternatives


iBuyers: These companies provide a fast, no-fuss selling experience for homeowners eager to avoid the conventional market. By offering instant cash proposals, iBuyers attract those looking for quick transactions and convenience. However, this convenience often comes with a price in the form of service charges and, possibly, lower bid prices since iBuyers prioritize expedience over securing the highest possible price for the seller.


Power Buyers: These programs are designed for homeowners who wish to buy their next property before selling their existing one. They typically utilize financial mechanisms like bridge loans to bridge the gap between purchasing and selling, providing a solution to the timing discrepancies between these two activities. Though this method introduces a greater degree of flexibility, it also complicates the transaction and may incur additional costs.


It's crucial to recognize that not all iBuyer and Power Buyer offerings are created equal. The key lies in discovering a program that aligns with your unique needs.
