Common Sacramento Situations
Local investors see these often. Each one has a guide with more detail.
You inherited a house
Under Prop 19, an inherited home generally keeps its tax base only if a child makes it a primary residence within one year. Many heirs who live elsewhere choose to sell.
Selling an inherited houseYour home needs repairs
About half of Sacramento County homes were built in 1980 or earlier, per Census data. Many investors buy older homes as-is, so repairs can stay with the buyer.
Selling a house that needs repairsYou have military orders
Beale Air Force Base, about 40 miles north, is home to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing. A cash sale can help you plan your closing around a PCS date.
Selling before a military moveYou own a rental
The City of Sacramento's Tenant Protection and Relief Act covers many older multifamily rentals. Many investors buy rentals with tenants in place, so ask an attorney about your lease.
Selling a rental propertyYou are behind on payments
In California, a notice of sale usually cannot come until at least three months after a notice of default is recorded. That window can leave time to compare options.
Selling a house in pre-foreclosureInsurance costs are changing your plans
The California FAIR Plan's average rate rose 29.1% on Oct. 15, 2026, and some high-risk areas saw more. A cash sale is one path some owners consider.
How a cash sale worksThe house is vacant
An empty house still has bills, upkeep and insurance. Many investors buy vacant homes as-is and can work around your schedule for the walkthrough.
Selling a vacant houseYour listing expired
Many Sacramento homes sell fast, but every house is different. A cash offer can be a simple next step if your listing did not sell.
Selling after your listing expiredCash Sale or Listing?
Both work. The right one depends on your timeline and the condition of the house.
| Topic | Cash sale to a local investor | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs and prep | Usually none. Sell as is. | Repairs, cleaning and staging are common |
| Showings | Usually one walkthrough | Showings and open houses |
| Time before escrow | No time on market | Sacramento median: 25 days on market |
| Buyer financing | Cash, no lender approval needed | Most buyers need a loan and an appraisal |
| Closing date | You help choose it | Set around the buyer's loan timeline |
| Agent commission | None | Typically paid at closing |
| Best for | Speed, certainty, or a house that needs work | Move-in-ready homes when time isn't a factor |

California Rules Worth Knowing
The basics for selling a home in Sacramento County. General information, not legal or tax advice.
County and city transfer tax
Sacramento County charges $0.55 per $500 of value under Revenue and Taxation Code 11911. Homes in the City of Sacramento also owe a city tax of 0.275% (City Code 3.16.020).
Who pays transfer tax
The Sacramento County Clerk-Recorder says either the buyer or the seller can pay, by mutual agreement. Your purchase contract sets the terms, so review it with an escrow officer.
Seller disclosures
Most sellers give a Transfer Disclosure Statement, even in an as-is sale. Civil Code 1102.2 exempts some transfers, such as probate court sales and trust or estate administration.
Foreclosure timeline
Under Civil Code 2924c, a notice of sale cannot come earlier than three months after the notice of default. Owners can usually reinstate until five business days before the sale.
Sacramento Seller Questions
Straight answers on how a cash sale works here.
Who makes the offer on my house?
Cash Offer Company connects you with local investors who buy homes in Sacramento County. The investor makes the offer and buys the home. Requesting an offer is free and there's no obligation.
Do I need to fix anything before I sell?
Usually not. Many investors buy Sacramento homes as-is, and the walkthrough helps them understand the condition.
How fast can I close?
Timing depends on title, escrow and the investor. Many cash sales close faster than a financed sale, and you can often ask for the date that suits you.
Is there a city transfer tax in Sacramento?
Yes. The Sacramento County Clerk-Recorder says the City of Sacramento is the only city in the county with its own transfer tax. It is 0.275% of the price, on top of the county tax.
Do I still give disclosures in an as-is sale?
In most cases, yes. Selling as-is changes who handles repairs, not the disclosure rules. A real estate attorney can confirm what applies to you.
Can I sell a house with tenants in it?
Often, yes. Many investors buy rentals with tenants in place. State law and the City of Sacramento's tenant rules may apply, so check with an attorney first.
Can I sell if I received a notice of default?
In many cases, yes. California law sets a waiting period between the notice of default and the notice of sale. Talk with your lender or a housing counselor about your timeline.
What areas do investors cover?
Requests come from across Sacramento County, from Natomas and Elk Grove to Folsom and the Delta. Coverage can vary by investor.
