Sun Apr 06 21:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump’s Childhood Home Sells for $835,000, a $1.2 Million Loss
**New York, NY** – Donald Trump’s childhood home in Queens, New York, has sold for a significant loss, fetching just $835,000. This represents a $1.2 million drop from its previous sale price of $2.1 million in 2017. The 2,500-square-foot, five-bedroom home, located in Jamaica Estates, was sold in an off-market deal to a New York-based LLC called 1388 Group.
Unlike the previous sales in 2016 and 2017, which garnered significant national media attention due to their auction format and Trump’s presidential candidacy, this sale was notably quiet. Misha Haghani, CEO of Paramount Realty, the auction house responsible for the earlier sales, stated that the previous auctions were “the most high-profile sale [he’d] ever seen.” He attributed the inflated prices to the intense media interest surrounding Trump’s candidacy. The 2016 auction was even postponed due to overwhelming attention.
The recent low sale price is attributed to the property’s deteriorated condition. Reports indicate the home had fallen into disrepair, even housing a colony of feral cats. This contrasts sharply with the $1.5 million median listing price for homes in the same neighborhood today. While the former president had no involvement in the recent sale, the significant loss highlights the fluctuating value of even high-profile properties.
