Selling Your House in California
Every state has different laws, taxes, and timelines for selling a home. Here is what you need to know about selling in California.
Seller Disclosure Requirements in California
California has some of the most extensive seller disclosure requirements in the nation. Sellers must complete the Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS), Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD), and additional forms covering Mello-Roos taxes, earthquake risks, fire zones, and environmental hazards. All known material defects must be disclosed.
Transfer Taxes in California
The transfer tax rate in California is $1.10 per $1,000 of sale price (0.11%) plus local taxes. Typically paid by the varies by county.
Closing Process in California
California uses title companies to handle closings. An attorney is not required by state law, which can reduce closing costs. A title company handles the title search, escrow, and document preparation.
Foreclosure Process in California
California uses non-judicial foreclosure, which does not require court involvement. This process moves fast, typically 120-200 days. If you are facing foreclosure in California, acting quickly is critical. A cash sale can close before the auction date.
Closing Timeline in California
A traditional home sale in California takes 30-45 days traditional, 10-14 days cash from listing to closing. A cash sale with Homewise typically closes in 7 to 14 days because there is no financing, no appraisal contingency, and no buyer inspection requirements.
Important: California Real Estate Laws
California is a community property state, and both spouses must sign off on the sale of marital real estate. The state has a homeowner bill of rights that provides foreclosure protections, including mandatory 30-day notice and single-point-of-contact requirements for lenders. Proposition 13 caps property tax increases at 2% per year, which affects tax prorations at closing.
