627 29th St

Built 1942·Richmond, CA 94804

Off market since August 1993, when it sold for $139,500 — $14,500 less than the sellers had paid in 1990. Three sales in five years (1988, 1990, 1993) make up its entire recorded market life. It has never appeared on the MLS, so no listing photo of it exists anywhere online. The 1993 Prop 13 basis holds the assessment at $241,812, roughly half of the $470K–$549K the valuation models estimated in July 2026.

House notes

  • Sold three times in five years — 1988, 1990, and 1993 — then never again; the same ownership has held it since August 1993
  • The 1993 sale closed at $139,500, a $14,500 loss against the $154,000 the sellers had paid in 1990
  • Legal lot 50, block 28 of the Nicholl Macdonald Avenue Civic Center tract
  • The Prop 13 basis from the 1993 sale keeps the assessment at $241,812, roughly half of what July 2026 valuation models estimate
  • No MLS listing has ever been recorded for it — every sale predates online listings, and no listing photo of the house exists on any site
  • Street View shows a steep front gable over brick entry steps, with the garage tucked under its own smaller gable beside the door
