8,200 homes sold in the city through the first 11 months of 2022 — and 19.7% of those listings went to buyers paying all cash. In recent years, 17-20% of homes sold in all-cash transactions, so the 2022 numbers are in line with annual trends.
The all-cash neighborhoods in DC are largely the priciest with four of the top five coming in neighborhoods where the median home price exceeds $1 million.
