What's different about selling in Redwood City
The local rules that show up in a Redwood City sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
San Mateo County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Redwood 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 Redwood City
Older houses in Mount Carmel and Palm Park often sit on raised foundations with short crawlspace walls. They're good candidates for seismic bracing, and good candidates for an as-is sale if you'd rather not do it.
