Sell your Fairfield house for cash, as it is.
Fairfield has an older core near downtown and Travis Air Force Base nearby, with subdivisions spreading toward Cordelia and Green Valley. Military moves, rentals and older houses near downtown account for a lot of the as-is sales here.
The houses we see most in Fairfield
Each kind comes with its own repairs. A cash buyer prices them into the offer, so you don't fix anything first.
Two-story tract house
Cordelia, Green Valley and Rancho Solano. 1980s to 2000s houses with aging systems.
What's different about selling in Fairfield
The local rules that show up in a Fairfield sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
Solano County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Fairfield 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 Fairfield
Travis Air Force Base is next door, so a lot of Fairfield sales are driven by orders rather than by the house. When the report date is fixed, a closing date you control matters more than squeezing out the last dollar.
