Eichler
Several Eichler tracts. Radiant heat in the slab, flat roofs and single-pane glass walls.
Sell your Sunnyvale house for cash, as it is.
Sunnyvale has one of the biggest collections of Eichlers anywhere, plus plenty of postwar ranches. Both kinds of houses are worth a lot and both tend to need the same expensive things at the same time: a roof, a heating system and windows from 1958.
The houses we see most in Sunnyvale
Each kind comes with its own repairs. A cash buyer prices them into the offer, so you don't fix anything first.
Postwar ranch
Cherry Chase, Ponderosa Park and Lakewood Village. Original systems and additions.
What's different about selling in Sunnyvale
The local rules that show up in a Sunnyvale sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
Santa Clara County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale
Houses built before the 1980s may have asbestos in old flooring, ceiling texture or duct wrap, and Sunnyvale has a lot of them. It complicates remodels and scares some buyers. A cash buyer takes the house and deals with it after closing.
