摘要
We investigate whether the cash discount for condos is affected by time on market (TOM). Theoretically and empirically, we show that the cash discount has two components: First, condos purchased with cash sell at a discount compared to mortgage-financed condos, which is in line with the cash discount identified in the housing literature. The second component is a TOM-variable cash discount that increases the longer a condo is on the market. In addition, our empirical analysis suggests the cash discount only exists for low-price condos and disappears in higher price segments. In particular, for low-price condos, the cash discount comprises of a 9.42% fixed cash discount and 0.1% per day TOM-variable cash discount. Our results suggest TOM represents an additional explanation for the cash discount in condos and moderates the relation between cash purchase and sales price.
