Across the country, cash buyers accounted for 28 percent of all home sales in 2010 with much higher figures for Southern Nevada, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Phoenix, Arizona. Contributing to this trend are tight lending standards, bargain prices, and well funded foreign and domestic buyers who believe home prices are undervalued. Many of these investors are renting out the homes.
