What's different about selling in Gilroy
The local rules that show up in a Gilroy sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
Santa Clara County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Gilroy 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 Gilroy
Outside the city limits, some properties around Gilroy run on wells and septic systems. Those need their own inspections in a regular sale. A cash buyer can take the property with the systems as they are.
