Every “we buy houses” sign shows you one number. The honest decision needs two — a written cash offer and what the recorded market says your house would net listed properly. Below is Tampa’s actual record: how fast homes really sell here, what share of sales close cash, and where overpricing kills listings.
The median Tampa-area community went from list to contract in 32 days in the current recorded window — but the spread runs from about 8 days in the fastest-moving communities to 87 in the slowest. Speed is mostly a pricing decision: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell inside that window; homes priced against hope don’t. The record also shows the cost of getting the price wrong: 89 Tampa-area listings in these communities were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling. A realistic price and a plan beat both a lowball cash offer and a listing that dies on market — see the statewide failure analysis of why listings don't sell.
Cash is already a real share of this market: 89% of recorded Tampa closings (56 of 63) closed without financing in the latest recorded windows. That matters two ways. If you list, a meaningful slice of your buyer pool needs no appraisal or loan approval to close. And if you're weighing an investor's cash offer, remember those recorded cash sales closed at market prices — cash speed and a deep discount are not the same thing, whatever the postcard says. When does taking a cash offer make sense? The record points to specific cases: repairs a financed buyer can’t close around, estates and out-of-state ownership where certainty is worth real money, and timelines shorter than the market time above. Outside those, listing usually nets more — the full statewide comparison with the actual arithmetic is on the cash-offer vs. listing page.
If speed is the goal, the record shows it varies street to street. The fastest-moving communities in the current window — each links to its full recorded price history:

The median Tampa-area community sold in 32 days from list to contract in the current recorded window, with the fastest communities moving in about 8 days. A correctly priced home sells inside its community's typical window; the recorded DOM table on this page shows where that window is shortest.
Yes — but get both numbers before signing anything: a written cash offer AND a records-based estimate of your likely open-market net from recent Tampa closings. Momentum prepares both sides of that comparison so the decision is arithmetic, not pressure. Note that 89% of recorded Tampa sales already close cash at market prices.
The records point to real cases where cash wins: repairs buyers can't finance, estates, timelines shorter than Tampa's typical 32-day market time, or situations where a failed listing would be costly. Most of the time, listing nets more. Compare the two written numbers for your specific house — the full statewide comparison is at movewithmomentum.com/cash-offer-vs-selling-with-a-realtor-florida.
