Opendoor may offer you two ways to sell your home: a regular cash offer and Cash Now, More Later (formerly Cash Plus). Here is how they compare so you can decide which option fits your situation.
Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Regular Cash Offer | Cash Now, More Later |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | Full proceeds at closing | Upfront proceeds at closing + potential additional payment when home resells |

| Service charge | Varies (shown in your offer breakdown) | 5% |
| Cancellation | Free, any time before closing | Free, any time before closing |
| Additional payment | No | Yes, based on resale price |
Who each option is designed for
Cash Now, More Later is great if you believe your home is worth more and want to participate in the upside. You get cash now and the potential for additional proceeds after the home resells.
The regular cash offer is great if you want certainty and want to close on your timeline. You know the full amount upfront, with nothing tied to future outcomes.
Neither option is inherently better — they serve different needs depending on what matters most to you.
Important: With both options, you can cancel your sale at any time before closing with no penalty and no fees. You are never locked in until closing day.
