Share Of Homes Bought With All Cash Hits The Highest Level Since ... (Forbes)

You know the saying “show me the money”? Well, money talks when it comes to negotiating a home purchase. Roughly one-third (31.9%) of home purchases were ...

That’s up slightly from 6.4% a year earlier and up from the record low of 5.5% set in mid-2021. That’s up from 13.1% a year earlier and a record low of 10.4% in April. FHA loans, which typically allow for lower down payments, have ticked up in popularity in response to the slowdown in housing market competition. All-cash home purchases increased in 29 of the 39 metros in Redfin’s analysis from October 2021 to October 2022. They increased the most in Riverside, California, where they rose to 38% of all home sales from 19.2%. Expensive West Coast metros dominate the list of places with the lowest share of all cash-purchases. All-cash purchases were most common in Florida in October. That’s up from 29.9% a year earlier and the highest share since 2014. But the factors encouraging buyers to pay in cash are different in the current slow housing market than they were during the pandemic home buying frenzy. During the pandemic housing boom, buyers were incentivized to pay in cash because of low rates, which drove up competition and made all-cash offers an effective bargaining chip for those who could afford them.” Next come, a pair of Ohio metros: Cleveland and Cincinnati which are also places where cash purchases rose most. Roughly one-third (31.9%) of home purchases were paid for with all cash in October, according to a new report from

Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards Credit Card Review (Sound Dollar)

The Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards Credit Card keeps things simple, with flat-rate cash back on every purchase and no annual fee.

While the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card has some appealing perks, it might not be your best option for a flat-rate rewards card. That said, Bank of America’s card stands out for its lengthy 0% APR introductory period that spans 18 months on purchases and qualifying balance transfers, a valuable feature if you’re looking to finance a big purchase. Bank of America offers a straightforward rewards card with its Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card. The Wells Fargo Active Cash Card is another no-annual-fee card that earns 2% cash back on purchases. Since the Double Cash Card earns a higher flat cash-back rate and also doesn’t charge an annual fee, it might be a more valuable addition to your wallet than its Bank of America counterpart. If you’re a Bank of America Preferred Rewards member, expect your card to earn the following based on this annual spend: The Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card offers flat cash-back rewards of 1.5% on all your purchases with no annual fee. With the Double Cash Card, you earn a net 2%—1% when you make a purchase and another 1% when you pay it off. If you’re looking to finance a major purchase, you might appreciate the Unlimited Cash Rewards card’s lengthy introductory 0% APR period. While this card has the potential for rewards bonuses, these are only available to consumers with $20,000 or more in the bank. That said, you could qualify for a rate of up to 25% to 75% more if you’re a Bank of America Preferred Rewards member, which means those at the highest tier will earn 2.62% cash back on every purchase. Some other no-annual-fee rewards cards offer flat rates of 2% on all purchases and let you redeem your earnings as cash back to any bank account.
