Sale of 930 Monterey Boulevard Beats Asking Price
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 930 Monterey Boulevard in the Westwood Park neighborhood closed on April 15 for $2.2 million, $700,000 above the $1,499,950 asking price listed on March 20 by Compass. The 1,793-square-foot, 1924-built Mediterranean-style property spent only four days on the market. The buyer’s identity has not been disclosed.
Background of the Murder-Suicide
On October 8, a family of four was found dead in the home. Father Thomas Ocheltree (57) and daughters Mackenzie Lou Ann Ocheltree (9) and Alexandra Grace Ocheltree (12) died from gunshot wounds, ruled homicides by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Mother Paula Truong (53) was found hanging; her death was ruled a suicide. Police initially described the deaths as “suspicious.” Prior reporting indicated the Ocheltree family faced severe financial strain, having taken a $2.2 million loan against the property in 2022 and entering foreclosure the following year.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

Why It Matters
The transaction illustrates that San Francisco’s high-demand housing market can absorb properties linked to violent tragedies, driving prices well above listing levels. It also underscores how financial distress—evidenced by the 2022 loan and subsequent foreclosure—can precede personal crises, prompting broader discussion on housing affordability, foreclosure prevention, and community impact of stigmatized properties.
