President Donald Trump’s<\/a> childhood home in New York City sold on Sept. 11 for nearly $2 million, according to its Zillow listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The over 2,100 square foot, Tudor-style home in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, and was “fully gut-renovated with meticulous attention to detail,” according to the listing.<\/p>\n

Trump lived at the home until he was 4 years old, according to the Associated Press<\/a>. His father built the home in the 1940s, but the family has not owned it for years.<\/p>\n

Zillow’s listing for the home shows it was sold to an undisclosed buyer for $1.93 million. It was listed in May for $2.2 million before its price dropped in June to $1.99 million. The sale went into contract in July for $1.99 million, according to the listing and the New York Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Developer Tommy Lin purchased the home in 2025, according to the Associated Press. The listing shows he paid $835,00. The New York Post reported that Lin spent more than $500,000 for an eight-month renovation.<\/p>\n

It has changed hands throughout the years, the listing shows.<\/p>\n

In 2017, it sold for $2.14 million, according to the listing. Trump Birth Home LLC purchased it and offered it for rent on Airbnb, according to the Associated Press. The rental included life-sized cardboard cutouts of Trump, copies of his book “The Art of the Deal” and a framed People magazine cover featuring Trump, according to the wire service.<\/p>\n

Prior to Lin’s purchase, the home had fallen into disrepair, according to the New York Post. “It had sat vacant for years, suffered damage from a burst pipe and mold \u2013 and had even become home to a colony of feral cats,” the Post reported.<\/p>\n
