A San Francisco house where a mother killed her husband and two daughters sold for $2.2 million, about $700,000 over asking. (kron4.com) (compass.com) The three-bedroom, two-bath house at 930 Monterey Blvd. in Westwood Highlands was listed March 20 at $1,499,950, went pending within four days, and closed April 15. (hoodline.com) (realtor.com) Compass and Realtor.com records show the 1,793-square-foot home was built in 1924 and sold for $1,227 per square foot. The buyer has not been publicly identified in the coverage of the sale. (compass.com) (realtor.com) (ktvu.com) Police found four bodies inside the Monterey Boulevard home on Oct. 8, 2025. Autopsy findings later concluded Paula Truong killed Thomas Ocheltree, 57, Alexandra Ocheltree, 12, and Mackenzie Ocheltree, 9, before taking her own life. (abc7news.com) (kron4.com) Coverage of the deaths and the later listing tied the family’s finances to the property. ABC7 reported the home had been in foreclosure, and SFist reported the March listing was marketed as a foreclosure sale. (abc7news.com) (sfist.com) Before the sale, SFist noted that agents often treat homes linked to notorious deaths as “stigmatized properties,” which can trade at a discount. The Monterey Boulevard result went the other way. (sfist.com) (ktvu.com) The closing price still sat below the 94127 ZIP code’s recent median sold price of $2,615,000 on Realtor.com, even after the bidding pushed it far above list. That suggests the low ask may have reflected both the foreclosure status and the home’s history. (realtor.com) (sfist.com) In this case, the market absorbed both. A house tied to one of San Francisco’s grimmest family deaths still drew a fast sale, multiple bids, and a closing price that erased the discount implied by the listing. (hoodline.com) (kron4.com)
