25% of Home Sales in DC in 2023 Have Been All-Cash

About one in four home sales in the District so far this year were all-cash transactions.
2,142 homes sold in the city through the first four months of 2023 — and 24% of those listings went to buyers paying all cash. In recent years, approximately 17-20% of homes sold in all-cash transactions, so this year's numbers are a bit higher, perhaps because higher interest rates are moving buyers toward cash. It should also be noted that sales are down 32% in 2023, compared with the same period last year.
The all-cash neighborhoods in DC are largely the priciest with three of the top five coming in neighborhoods where the median home price exceeds $1 million.
