Share of U.S. homes bought with all cash hits highest level since 2014. Roughly one-third (31.9%) of U.S. home purchases were paid for with all cash in October.
However, expensive West Coast metros dominate the list of places with the lowest share of all cash-purchases. They’re least common in the Bay Area: Just 14.3% of home purchases in San Jose and 16.5% in Oakland were made in cash. Next come Seattle (19%), Los Angeles (19.2%) and Newark, NJ (20%).
