In Buttercup Creek, every single home sold in the past six months was purchased with financing. The data shows zero cash transactions among the 57 closed sales recorded between May and October 2026. This means 100% of buyers relied on mortgage loans to complete their purchases.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the closing records for this rolling six-month window to determine the split between cash and financed deals. While some markets show a significant share of all-cash buyers, Buttercup Creek currently shows none. The median close price for these financed sales was $488,000.
This absence of cash purchases suggests that local buyers are heavily dependent on current mortgage rates to enter the market. With the prevailing 30-year fixed rate at 7.18% as of early November, financing costs play a central role in every transaction. Buyers are utilizing standard loan structures rather than paying outright.
The sample size for this analysis covers 57 homes sold over six months. Because no cash sales occurred, the share of cash purchases is 0%. This metric helps distinguish between investor-heavy markets and those driven by owner-occupiers using traditional financing.
