Bay Area Murder House Sells For $700K Above Asking Price

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The San Francisco home where a woman killed her husband and two children before hanging herself last year has been sold for $2.2 million.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Mediterranean-style home located on the 900 block of Monterey Boulevard sold less than a month after it was listed on March 20.

The home was originally listed at $1.5 million, meaning its buyer paid $700,000 more than its asking price. The home was last sold in 2014 for $1.35 million.

"Perched on a sunny corner in coveted Westwood Highlands, this Mediterranean‑style home blends classic charm with bright, welcoming spaces and lovely southern views," the home was described in a listing by Sotheby's International Realty. "The main level showcases newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and all‑new light fixtures that elevate every room."

What's not mentioned in the listing is that the home is the site of a recent murder-suicide.

Police say 53-year-old Paula Truong shot and killed her two daughters and husband in October 2025.

When officers arrived, they found the bodies of 57-year-old Thomas Ocheltree, Mackenzie Ocheltree, 9, and Alexandra Ocheltree, 12. The two children were in their respective bedrooms, their bodies partially covered, according to authorities.

Officers, meanwhile, found Truong hanging dead in the garage, authorities said.

The San Francisco Chronicle later reported that the family appeared to have been struggling financially prior to the slayings.
