Over there, buying a house without taking out a mortgage does not count as "weird": it's not terribly common, but happens often enough to not be considered weird. After all, if you have 100% of the house price on hands, there is not much reason to take a mortgage with 20% down payment and then immediately closing the rest of 80%, is there?

Buying a house without financing isn't weird (even if it is uncommon). Trying to buy a house as quickly as possible with as little due diligence or negotiation as possible, is.
