How to sell a house in Solano County
You can sell a house in Solano County by listing it or by selling directly to a cash buyer. A listing can bring a higher price when the home is in good condition, but you carry repairs, showings and the chance that a buyer’s financing falls through. A cash sale lets you skip all of that and fix the closing date yourself.
- Tell us about the home. Use the form or call (424) 435-2326.
- Review the written offer. It arrives within 24 hours, with no obligation.
- Choose when to close. Escrow pays any mortgage, lien or tax out of the proceeds.
- Record the deed. Recording is done with the Assessor-Recorder in Fairfield.
What does it cost to sell a house in Solano County?
The county documentary transfer tax is $0.55 per $500 of value, paid at recording. On a $550,000 sale that is $605. Cities may charge an extra tax, so ask escrow what applies to your address. Taxes and liens owed are paid from your proceeds. A traditional sale also adds commissions and repair costs, which are not part of our cash offers. See the California transfer tax report for rates across the state.
