    Cash Transactions

Expert Take

Three of four October closings were cash — that single ratio tells you more about this market than any price figure does. Cash buyers at this price point aren’t waiting on rate decisions or appraisals, which keeps deal flow moving and puts a floor under values even as conventional borrowers face real affordability friction above $1.5M. The DOM gap this month is worth studying closely: 261 SW 30th Rd closed at the month’s high of $1.725M but spent 114 days on market first, while the re-listed 2898 SW 2nd Ave found a cash buyer in 14 days — a direct illustration that pricing discipline at entry still determines pace, regardless of how liquid the buyer pool is. Sellers should treat that 114-day close as a warning, not a model; buyers with cash or a clean conventional pre-approval should be tracking re-lists and extended-DOM properties, because that’s where negotiating leverage actually exists right now.

Market Analysis

The Tightest Price Cluster of the Year

October produced four single-family closings, all between $1.25 million and $1.725 million — a spread of $475,000 across the entire month. No transaction reached $2 million. No transaction fell below $1.25 million. The four deals occupied a narrow band, and three of the four were cash. That concentration tells a specific story: October was a month where The Roads buyer pool was most active and most confident in the $1.25M–$1.75M range.

The 12,500 square-foot lot at 1739 SW 12th Ave attracted multiple offers, closing at $1.6 million in cash after 86 days. This continues a pattern that has been consistent across 2025: oversized and double lots generate buyer competition regardless of what the rest of the market is doing. A lot of that size in The Roads is uncommon, and when such properties reach the market with clear title and appropriate pricing, buyers respond. The multiple-offer outcome at 86 days on market suggests the property may have been tested at a higher price before finding its clearing level, but the competitive outcome on closing confirms there was real demand at $1.6M.

2898 SW 2nd Ave at $1.43 million was a relisting success — a previous attempt had been cancelled before the property returned to market and found a cash buyer in 14 days. This is the second relisting close in recent months, following 1823 SW 2nd Ct in September. In both cases, the relisted property transacted quickly on the second attempt. The data does not specify what changed between the first and second listing, but the outcomes are consistent: a well-executed second attempt can close faster than a first attempt that ran longer.

The pool-and-solar package at 261 SW 30th Rd closed at the month’s high — $1.725 million — but required 114 days to find a buyer. Feature-rich properties can support a higher ceiling price while simultaneously narrowing the field of qualified buyers. The result at 261 SW 30th Rd held both truths at once: the highest price of the month, and the longest DOM of the month. At the entry end, 2219 SW 9th Ave at $1.25 million closed in 24 days, all cash — consistent with what the data has shown repeatedly at this price point when properties are well-positioned.

Value Tiers

  • Tier 1

    $1.7M – $2M

    One closing at $1.725M. Full amenity packages — pool, solar, outdoor living — support the highest price points in this band. DOM at this tier was 114 days, reflecting a narrower buyer pool for feature-specific properties even when demand exists. Patience is part of the equation when asking a premium for distinctive features.

    1 closing — 114 DOM

  • Tier 2

    $1.4M – $1.7M

    Two closings at $1.43M and $1.6M — the most active tier in October by transaction count. Oversized lots generated multiple offers at the top of this range. A relisted property closed in 14 days at the lower end. Both cash transactions. This tier is where the October market did its clearest work.

    2 closings — 14 to 86 DOM

  • Tier 3

    $1.2M – $1.4M

    One closing at $1.25M via cash in 24 days. Entry-range buyers in October were cash buyers moving on a defined timeline. Properties priced clearly within this range and in presentable condition have consistently attracted offers within a few weeks. This tier continues to function as the floor of buyer confidence in The Roads.

    1 closing — 24 DOM
