Gov. Jerry Brown is no longer an Oakland homeowner.
The governor and First Lady Anne Gust Brown closed on the sale of their Oakland Hills home last week, completing the journey that began late last year when the first couple moved into the historic governor's mansion in Sacramento.
The real estate website Curbed San Francisco reported on Monday that the 4,147-square-foot home closed on July 30 with a sale price of $2.375 million. That's less than the Browns were asking for the home when it went on the market in April, and also slightly less than they reportedly paid for it in 2007.
The governor was mayor of Oakland for eight years between his stints as chief executive of the state and after his last presidential campaign in 1992. Brown's family also owns land in Colusa County and the governor is fond of talking about his ancestral ties to the rural property.

You couldn’t give me real estate in California right now. I’d refuse to take it if it was free because I’d be afraid that even then I lose money on it.
California is head at high speed for a really hard fall.
Houses half that size in old parts of Los Angeles sell for about that price. Old Jerry has the Mudus touch. Everything he touches turns into shite.
Wait....wut? global warming moonbean owned a 2+mil dollar home? Gee did it have air-conditioning?
Nonsense. People will always pay good money for a home in California. I do think it’s overvalued and overdue for a correction.
Same here in NYC area.
I didn’t even know that Brown is married.
He sold it? Why wouldn’t a rich person like himself donate it to the poor and less fortunate? >sarcasm
Everything he touches turns to brown.
You see a lot of the heavy drug users sell their houses at a loss .... Moonbeam’s dealers won’t take California IOUs anymore.
From the article: “. ... and also slightly less than they reportedly paid for it in 2007.”
But they don’t state the price they paid for it. It’s error by omission.
