What's the typical discount if you pay cash for real estate?
 

Let's say a house is going for $150,000. What's the "typical" discount if you pay cash? There may not be hard and fast rules as each seller is different but a general idea is all I'm looking for.

nothing
you know people that accept anything other than csah for a real estate ?
you save on your mortgage, cause you will not have to pay interest for it :P cause you will not have to got one :P

None. The seller will get his $ up front from a mortage company, so it does not matter.

0%

the seller may take some off because you can pay faster since you have cash and not have to wait for a mortgage to go thru, but there is no rule about it

Zip... In fact if the seller is offering financing and really wants an annuity (lower taxs) you may have to pay more.

Yeah, the only time you get a discount for cash is when time is the issue ie. forclosure, taxes, and so on.

Plus they will most likely want proof that you have cash...

Not a dime with a agency, but if you're dealing with a private seller then you might be able to sway him with a cash payment. Not likely though.
