Cash buyers accounted for 24.6 percent of the purchases in April, down from 27.3 percent in March and 28.6 percent the previous year. Cash buyers paid a median price of $160,000 for the homes that they purchased during the month which was down from $170,000 in March and down from $171,000 in April of last year.

Absentee buyers, usually investors and vacation home buyer’s, accounted for a record 31.8 percent of all homes sold in April paying a median price of $192,750. That was up from 26.8 percent of all homes sold in March at a median price of $193,320 and up from 18.9 percent of all homes sold in April of last year at a price of $168,250.
