If the loan and title of my house are only in my name. Can i sell it without my husban's permission?

2 years prior to my marriage. I bought a condo under my name because the loan is solely under my name. Due to our credit scores, bank only approved the house loan and title to be under my name. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.

Things are not really working out for me and my husband. He is so immature and selfish that when we fight about little stupid things, he is so quick to walk away and does not come home for weeks. I am so tired of my situation, our marriage is beyond repair and yet he wont take his clothes with him or completely move out. I was hoping he would just leave because I know if I mention the word divorce to him or if i initiate it he's ego will be hurt and he will want to get even with me.

Will I need his permission to sell my house? Is it better to sell my house now before the divorce is filed? I am asking because i dont want him to have any of it. If he files for divorce, I might be forced to sell it so he can have half of the equity. He paid his share of the bills but I paid the mortgage with my own bank account.

All the down payment of 20% came out from my saving account. He has not mentioned anything about a divorce to me but I want to save myself from being financially and emotionally taken advantage of.

Please… I need a good advise and thank you in advance!
