5723 Alameda Ave

Built 1947·Richmond, CA 94804

Sold 20 July 2021 for $765,000 against a $725,000 ask, 47 days after listing. It has changed hands four times since 2000, climbing from $265,000 to $765,000 — though the county has since written it back down, assessing it at $650,000 on the 2026–27 roll. The 2015 listing called it a 'MacGregor-style home'; between that sale and the next it went from pale teal with a red front door to dark blue.
