I like the insight into how crypto is being used in the US Real Estate market. The biggest risk is the fluctuation in crypto value. If the seller accepts crypto, and the market dives like it did this week, that could be a huge loss. Of course, the loss only occurs if the seller liquidates the crypto. For the average real estate investor, taking crypto is a huge risk. Most investors use the profits of each sale to fund the next deal. As they move up the ladder, the wealth builds. But if the potential profit is tied up in market fluctuations, then the real estate investor cannot use the profit to invest in the next deal. Of course, in the sample you gave, the seller is very rich and can hold the crypto until the market improves. I am not sure he will avoid taxes, but he might delay them depending on if he used some sort of asset exchange. I found your post very insightful. Real Estate Investors has reblogged your post.
