The Pros and Cons of Cash vs. Financing

The Pros and Cons of Cash vs. Financing

In the luxury markets of Wellesley and Brookline, cash is king-but is it always the smartest move?

The Cash Advantage

Speed: Close in 10 days instead of 30. Leverage: Sellers often take a slightly lower cash offer over a higher financed one because there is no 'appraisal risk.'

The Financing Play

Liquidity: Keep your cash in the stock market or other investments that might outpace your mortgage interest rate. Tax Benefits: Mortgage interest can often be tax-deductible (consult your CPA!).

The 'Hybrid' Strategy

Many of my clients buy with cash and then immediately refinance to pull their capital back out. It's the ultimate winning move.
