My former spouse just bought a home with cash a few months ago and had to show proof of funds. It was not a big deal. She sold her previous house to a cash buyer and her listing agent made sure she received proof of funds from them. As a seller I certainly would not want to take my house off the market for a period of time only to find the "cash buyer" could not come up with the money.
