Cash vs. Financed Purchases in La Cima

In the master-planned community of La Cima, every single home sold over the last six months was purchased with a mortgage. The data shows zero cash transactions among the 43 closed sales in the rolling period ending September 30, 2026. This means the share of cash purchases is 0%, while financed purchases account for 100% of the market activity. This complete reliance on financing distinguishes La Cima from broader regional trends where cash buyers often compete for inventory. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the closing records to determine that no buyer in this specific subdivision utilized cash funds during this window. The median sale price for these financed transactions was $482,110, with a typical home size of 2,400 square feet. The absence of cash deals suggests that buyers in La Cima are leveraging mortgage financing to acquire homes in this active new-construction market. With 33 of the 43 closings being new construction, the purchasing power dynamics appear driven by loan availability rather than liquid capital competition. This pattern holds consistent across the subdivision's phases, where all recorded sales involved traditional lending structures. While cash buyers can sometimes offer speed or flexibility in negotiations, the La Cima market in this period was defined entirely by financed transactions. The median days on market for these homes was 71 days, indicating that financing approval and processing times likely played a significant role in the overall transaction timeline.
