How are so many people paying cash? It doesn't seem like hardly anyone can save that amount.
I actually had 2 separate discussions regarding the influx of Californians into other states (specifically these guys were in Boise, ID and Nevada (Reno and Vegas)) both individuals said that Californians were selling their home in CA and using that money to pay over asking price in cash for homes in the new markets.
Both were insistent there is documentation of this happening all over the country of higher market homeowners driving up the price in lower priced out of state markets.
They were interesting conversations with zero crossover between the two men. I thought it was odd they were so similar despite it being an idea I had never heard of.
