In West Austin, every single home that closed in October was financed by a lender. Out of 53 closed sales, zero were paid entirely in cash. This means the share of all-cash purchases was 0% across the entire month.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the financing types for these transactions to determine the split between cash and loan-funded deals. The data shows that 100% of the buyers in this high-value market relied on mortgage financing, with no cash-only transactions recorded in the sample of 53 homes.
This absence of cash sales is notable given the median close price of $1,175,000 for the month. While a median home price of over $1 million often attracts all-cash investors or liquid buyers, the October data indicates that local financing conditions and buyer behavior drove every transaction through traditional mortgage channels.
The sample size of 53 closed sales provides a robust view of current activity in West Austin. With no cash deals to skew the average payment dynamics, the market's liquidity for this period was entirely dependent on borrowers securing loans at prevailing rates.
