Sell your San Bruno house for cash, as it is.
San Bruno sits between the airport and the hills, with postwar houses in Rollingwood, Crestmoor and Belle Air Park. Many still belong to their original families or their kids. The houses are solid but dated, and that's usually what an as-is sale here is about.
The houses we see most in San Bruno
Each kind comes with its own repairs. A cash buyer prices them into the offer, so you don't fix anything first.
Row house over a garage
Belle Air Park and the blocks near San Mateo Avenue. Garage-level rooms and older furnaces.
What's different about selling in San Bruno
The local rules that show up in a San Bruno sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
San Mateo County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. San Bruno 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 San Bruno
San Bruno sits right next to SFO, and many houses have the original single-pane windows and thin walls of the 1950s. Updating them is a big job. Selling as-is leaves that to the buyer.
