Verification

## What we verified

Fact

Status

Source

2 units: an upper 4-bedroom/2-bath and a lower 3-bedroom/2-bath

corroborated

the public listing states it three ways (the unit chip, the Duplex subtype, and its prose describing both units), and the two street numbers on the facade, 2531 and 2533, match; no county building record was read for this parcel

7 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2,401 sqft, built 1904

corroborated

the live listing states all four; our listing feed agrees on bedrooms, square footage and year and is silent on baths, so the bath count rests on the listing alone. The stated mix (4+3 bedrooms, 2+2 baths) sums to both totals

Ask $675,000

verified

our 2026-09-02 listing-feed pull and the live listing read the same day carry the identical figure; unchanged since the June 11 debut

FY 2025-26 tax bill $6,532.88, both installments paid

verified

Alameda County Treasurer-Tax Collector secured-tax portal, bill 04503600, parcel 19-90-5, read 2026-09-02; ad valorem plus direct charges equal the bill total to the penny; both installments paid together on 2025-11-18

Assessed $316,228 for 2025, less than half the ask

verified

Alameda's bill carries $94,868 of land and $221,360 of improvements; the listing's tax history shows the same figure and $322,551 for 2026. A 2009 purchase at $245,454 stepped up 2% a year gets there, so the buyer's bill more than doubles the seller's at the reset

Sold July 2009 for $245,454; before that June 2008 for $517,938 and March 2006 for $588,000

verified

sale history on the public listing; the 2009 price is 53% under the 2008 one, the signature of a distressed sale, and the current ask is 175% above it after seventeen years

Fact

Status

Source

New roof, fresh stucco, new iron front and rear staircases

stated

prose on the public listing; the four exterior frames show fresh stucco and a new iron front stair, and no frame shows the roof or the rear. No permit was in evidence

Tenancy of both units unstated

stated

prose on the public listing pitches rental income or multi-generational living and never says whether either unit is occupied; no lease or rent roll was in evidence

Listed June 11, 2026 at $675,000; 83 days on market

verified

price history on the public listing, read 2026-09-02

4 listing photos analyzed, 1 flag, held by eye; no interior photographed

verified

photo analysis pass with citation check on 2026-09-02; all four frames are the street facade, and the window flag resolves in every one of them

8 facts checked against a named source. 2 we could not settle. 7 open questions, written out in the underwrite.

A bill on the roll belongs to the seller. A sale resets the assessment, so the figure above is what a buyer at this ask would owe.

Community facilities district: none: the bill carries no Mello-Roos line; its non-ad-valorem items are the twenty-six direct charges below, light for Oakland because most of the city's per-unit charges count two units here
