Row house over a garage
Westlake, Crocker and the original Daly City blocks. Rooms behind the garage and old furnaces.
Sell your Daly City house for cash, as it is.
Daly City is famous for its rows of near-identical houses, especially in Westlake, where Henry Doelger built thousands of them after the war. Most sit over a garage, and a lot of those garages now have a bedroom or a small unit behind them. That's the house that sells as-is here more than any other.

Each kind comes with its own repairs. A cash buyer prices them into the offer, so you don't fix anything first.

What's different about selling in Daly City
The local rules that show up in a Daly City sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
San Mateo County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Daly City has no separate city transfer tax, so the total is the county's $1.10 per $1,000.
If the house is rented
Most rentals here fall under the statewide Tenant Protection Act, which caps yearly rent increases and requires a just cause to end most tenancies after a year. Selling doesn't end a lease. The buyer takes it over, so have the lease and the current rent handy.
Worth knowing in Daly City
Fog off the ocean keeps Daly City houses damp much of the year, so mold, wood rot on west-facing walls and rusted wall furnaces are common. None of that has to be fixed before a cash sale.
