Cash buyers are getting the best deals in this competitive market. I've found that the best deals tend to be bank owned homes vs. short sales, and cash does help in the ban owned bidding process. Banks tend to be more conservative about selling prices for short sales where they still have the borrower on the hook. So, I find that short sales tend to close right at current selling prices or slightly higher. Whereas, the goal with REOs is to move that asset off of the books quickly. So, you will see bigger price discounts on bank owned properties.
