Assessed value
Assessed value (Prop. 13), not a market price. County file, October 2026.
Assessed value $256,699 (2026 roll; the county does not publish the base year). In California this is not a market value. Under Prop 13 it starts at the purchase price and rises at most 2% a year, so long-held property is usually assessed far below what it would sell for.
