Despite the housing market in the United States slowing in 2022, the number of cash transactions increased. One of the main reasons for this was the substantial increase in mortgage rates, making a cash purchase the better option for the home buyers who could afford it. About 56,000 cash home sales took place in 2023, which was one in ten housing transactions. It was also one of the highest figures recorded since 1989.
