I don't see how they could be losing money either. But it isn't a buyer's market right now, cash or otherwise. Houses are still overpriced even without considering the currently high interest rates.

US Banks Losing Money on Mortgages
Here home prices have come down, but not far enough to offset the high mortgage rates. So, if the seller is still servicing a mortgage then they may be staring at a capital loss - exactly what I recall froze the market in the UK in 1980/90s.
Looks like their "losses" are largely theoretical, in that based on past projections. It also looks as if fees are too high - this is the USA, so not global - banks don't really like to repossess as that costs them money plus the loss of repayments. Not a sector that can squeeze out much sympathy from the public!
