I just completed my "Summer" analysis of home prices and loans as reported through out regional MLS. I was eager to see the cash market versus the conventional. We had been "Cash" to as high as 1 in 3 at one time during the REO heyday but now we've fallen to about 22% CASH vs. loans. Conventional is by far and away the most dominant (57 to 64% of all loans made) but I was surprised at the big ramp up of FHA loans this year over last year and this with a bump in the median home price of some 15%! FHA doubled over last August's numbers. However, VA was neglegible and DOWN over last year with only 3% of all loans as reported in our MLS. I don't know if these numbers translate into actual loans being made outside of our MLS but it is usually a pretty good indicator.

It seems like about half, I prefer not to accept many of these though.

We have a lot of cash buyers but when financed about 75% conventional and the rest evenly split between FHA and VA. Lots of military in our state.

Industry locally it is 85 conventional, 15% FHA on low end.

VA I had one in 10 years.  Sellers only look at high down or conventional in my area.  30% of mine is cash last few years.
