“What repairs are required to sell a home?”
Answer:
By law, your water heater must be correctly strapped and smoke detectors up in all sleeping areas (bedrooms or the hall outside). The City of San Diego requires low flow toilets, showerhead, and faucets, but you may transfer responsibility to a buyer, who will likely expect a dollar credit.
While not legally required, you’ll probably need to provide a pest control clearance, meaning termites, damaged wood, and related items are taken care of.
