How to sell a house in Napa County

Sellers in Napa County have two routes. A traditional listing can bring a higher price when the house is ready to show, but it takes preparation, inspections and a buyer who has to qualify for a loan. A direct cash sale trades some price for a fast, predictable close with no repairs.

1. Share the details using the form here or by calling (424) 435-2326.
2. Get a written offer within 24 hours, with no obligation.
3. Choose the closing date. Escrow settles taxes, liens and your mortgage out of the proceeds.
4. Close and receive your funds through escrow.

How do Napa County property taxes affect a sale?

Napa County’s Treasurer-Tax Collector lists November 1 and February 1 as installment due dates, with delinquency after 5 p.m. on December 10 and April 10. Payments dropped off after 5 p.m. on a delinquent date are treated as late and returned with penalties. Supplemental bills, issued after a change of ownership or new construction, run on their own schedule and can differ from the annual bill.

If you owe taxes when you sell, they are paid from your proceeds at closing. Ask the Tax Collector at (707) 253-4327 or your escrow officer for the payoff figure as of your expected closing date.

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

State law sets the documentary transfer tax at $0.55 per $500 of value, paid when the deed is recorded. A city may charge its own tax on top, so confirm what applies to your property. The contract decides who pays. Our cash offers carry no commissions or closing costs.
