610 27th St

Built 1940·Richmond, CA 94804

Never recorded as sold in any source consulted, which makes this the only house in the collection with an empty price history. The county assessment tells the story instead: a Prop 13 base that has only ever grown 2% a year, with the single recorded deed since 1986 being a 2020 transfer into a family trust. The house last surfaced publicly as a $2,400/mo rental in March 2025, which is where the interior photos come from. A separate TurboTenant rental listing at $2,500/mo survives as an expired Apartments.com page and contributed a second, RentLinx-watermarked photo set. The county records ground-floor area equal to the full 1,009 sq ft, yet those photos clearly show a second finished bedroom upstairs under the roofline.

House notes

  • No sale on record anywhere — the county index reaches back to 1986 and none of the five sites checked show a single sale event
  • Assessed value has risen at a flat 2% a year since at least 2001, the Prop 13 ceiling, meaning no reassessable change of ownership in 25+ years
  • A deed recorded in August 2020 moved the house into a family trust — an exempt transfer, so it never triggered a reassessment
  • Assessed at $130,570 while the same sites estimate market value near $483,000 — roughly 27% of it
  • Counted as a single story by the county, but listing photos show a staircase up to a finished bedroom tucked under the front gable
  • Half-timbered front gable and an integral garage set into the facade below it
  • Listed for rent at $2,400/mo in March 2025 and pulled off the market three weeks later
  • A second rental listing — $2,500/mo through TurboTenant — still lingers on Apartments.com as an expired page, adding 15 more photos including the backyard deck
