533 28th St
Traces a full boom-and-bust arc: $115,000 in 1995, $425,000 at the 2005 peak, then tax default, a $103,320 public-record transfer in June 2009, and a $200,000 resale in January 2010 that still stands as the last sale. The 2009 amount and the sequence around it are characteristic of a foreclosure, though the deed type is unconfirmed. The 2005 listing described a "third" bedroom whose closet was across the hall.

House notes
- Steep-gabled Tudor — the 2009 listing called it a "Beautiful Tudor style charming home"
- Non-conforming studio guest house at the rear, marketed as in-law space and recorded by the county as a second structure
- Sits on two legal lots (32 and 33, block 25), giving it a 5,000 sq ft parcel — double the 2,500 sq ft under most MacGregor houses in this collection
- The 2005 listing advertised a "unique 'third' bedroom" whose closet is across the hall, and said the house had been in one family for 60+ years
- Fell into property-tax default: a 2006 redemption bill of $5,187.59 was paid in October 2007
- Changed hands at $103,320 in June 2009, roughly a quarter of what it sold for four years earlier
- Offered furnished at $2,300/mo — for short-term or year leases — in a rental listing that survives as an expired Apartments.com page, pitching the "big backyard you can BBQ with friends on weekend"
