Sell your Pittsburg house for cash, as it is.
Pittsburg started as an industrial town on the river, and its older blocks still have small houses from the 1920s through the 1950s. Newer subdivisions climb the hills to the south. As-is sales here are often the older houses near Old Town and rentals that have been through a few tenants.
The houses we see most in Pittsburg
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 Pittsburg
The local rules that show up in a Pittsburg sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
Contra Costa County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg
A lot of Pittsburg houses have been rentals for years, sometimes with several owners in a row who did the minimum. If yours has worn floors, patched walls and a tired kitchen, that's normal for an as-is sale here.
