The lowest priced house in Oakland California $235,000 [View all]

Former squatter house without running water in Oakland priced at $235,000
By Amy Graff, SFGATE Updated 3:38 pm PST, Thursday, January 31, 2019

It's currently the lowest-priced home in Oakland, and might offer a patient, ambitious buyer who wants to squeeze into the Bay Area real estate market an opportunity.

The tiny, ramshackle house with 364-square-feet at 7010 Herbert Guice Way near the Oakland Coliseum is priced at $235,000 — which requires a $47,000 down payment if you put down 20 percent.

The roof leaks and the exterior paint is peeling, but the interior is clean and tidy, if unassuming.
