Sacramento sellers with older homes — a 1920s bungalow in Oak Park, a 1950s ranch in South Sac — often find the inspection list is the real obstacle. A cash buyer closes on the house as it is, inherited contents and all.

Common situations in Sacramento County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Sacramento estates are opened in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento. Selling an estate house there can be quick under full independent authority or take longer if the court must confirm the sale.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
In Sacramento County a lender usually forecloses outside court: the trustee records a notice of default with the Sacramento County Clerk/Recorder, then a notice of trustee's sale, and the auction follows. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Property taxes in Sacramento County are collected through the county's Department of Finance; houses left in tax default for several years can be sold at a county tax sale.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Sacramento's code compliance staff respond to complaints about vacant and dangerous buildings, junk and overgrowth, and substandard rental conditions.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Sacramento unlawful detainers are heard in the Sacramento County Superior Court. The city has its own tenant protection program for many rentals, on top of state rules. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Sacramento: questions
My Sacramento house is in a flood zone and needs flood insurance. Will that scare off a buyer?
Not a cash buyer. Financed buyers in Sacramento's flood zones need flood insurance to get a loan, which can slow a sale; a cash buyer doesn't, and can close without it.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Sacramento?
California sales close through an escrow company, with a title company insuring the title; escrow pays off the loan and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Sacramento County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
