Residential Property Sales in California and Disclosure Laws

In every residential sale, California law requires sellers to disclose known material facts that could affect the buyer’s decision. Things like water damage, foundation issues, prior repairs, or even neighborhood nuisances.

The ultimate goal is to ensure that buyers are fully aware of any factors that could impact the property’s value, livability, or long-term safety before committing to the sale.

And here’s where many sellers get into trouble. Disclosures are not optional, and if you leave something out, even by mistake, the buyer can come back with a lawsuit, even after escrow closes.
