How to sell a house in Shasta County

You can sell a house in Shasta County with an agent or straight to a cash buyer. Listing works best for a move-in-ready home with time to wait. A cash sale suits a house that needs work, sits on a large rural lot that is hard to finance, or belongs to heirs who want it settled quickly.

1. Request your offer. Use the form or call (424) 435-2326.
2. Get it in writing within a day. There is no cost to ask.
3. Pick the closing date. Escrow settles the mortgage, liens and any taxes owed from the proceeds.
4. Close. The deed is recorded with the Assessor-Recorder in Redding.

What does it cost to sell a house in Shasta County?

The county documentary transfer tax is $0.55 per $500 of value. On a $400,000 sale that is $440. It is collected when the deed is recorded, and the contract decides who pays. Unpaid property taxes and liens come out of the seller’s proceeds at closing. On a traditional sale you would also budget for commissions and repairs, which our cash offers do not charge. Check the California transfer tax report to compare counties.
