Would you be willing to buy a piece of real estate where a brutal murder took place? A lot of people would be pretty creeped out to take up residence inside a home where some seriously disturbing things happened. Others, however, are perfectly OK to open up their checkbook and sign a few extra zeroes, it seems. An upscale San Francisco home where a mother killed her husband and two daughters in October 2025 went on the market and sold to a new owner for a whopping $2.2 million. If that’s not shocking enough, the new owner reportedly went an appalling amount over the asking price to ensure the deal went through.
A ‘murder house’ in San Francisco sold for over $700,000 over the asking price.
According to People, a San Francisco home that was the site of a brutal murder-suicide involving two children and their father in late 2025 already has a new owner. Believe it or not, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property sold for over $2 million, a whopping $700,000 over the listing price.
The magazine reported that the house was only on the market for four days. The real estate listing for 930 Monterey Blvd. in the Westwood Highlands district of the city describes the property as “perched on a sunny corner” while “the Mediterranean‑style home blends classic charm with bright, welcoming spaces and lovely southern views.”
The listing also mentions that the house has “refinished hardwood floors [and] fresh interior paint,” which, when you find out what exactly happened on this property, you will understand why they felt the need to refresh things.
What happened in that house was absolutely chilling.
According to KRON, the autopsy results revealed that the cause of death for four family members who died inside the Monterey Blvd home in San Francisco on October 8, 2025, was three homicides and one suicide.
The youngest victim was Mackenzie Lou Ann Ocheltree, who was just 9 years old, and she was shot once in her bedroom, per the news outlet. Mackenzie’s 12-year-old sister, Alexandra Grace Ocheltree, was shot twice in another bedroom. The girls’ 57-year-old father, Thomas Ocheltree, had been shot twice in the chest and once in the neck. According to the reports, all three of those deaths were ruled a homicide, KRON reported.
The death 53-year-old Paula Truong, Thomas Ocheltree’s wife and the mother of Mackenzie and Alexandra, was ruled a suicide, per KRON. Unlike her family members, her body was not found lying in bed; she was found inside her garage.
How absolutely chilling.
The family of the ‘murder house’ had struggles prior to their violent deaths.

According to KRON, the mother’s toxicology report was positive for trazadone, a prescription medication primarily used to treat major depressive disorder.
ABC 7 News obtained court documents detailing that the Monterey Blvd home had also been in foreclosure since February 2024, when the family was more than $200,000 behind in mortgage payments.
The family had once owned two corner stores within their Westwood Park neighborhood and a luxury auto repair shop, KRON reported. They also owned several Vietnamese coffee shops called Orbit Coffee Company.
It’s heartbreaking to think about the death and despair seen within the walls of the house on Monterey Boulevard. Hopefully, the new owners can bring some much needed light and peace to the property.
