Trump’s childhood home bought for $835,000 sells for $1.93 million

A house in Queens where US President Donald Trump spent the earliest years of his childhood has found a new owner, selling for $1.93 million after undergoing a dramatic renovation.The Tudor-style property in New York City's Jamaica Estates had been vacant for years and was reportedly in poor condition when developer Tommy Lin purchased it for $835,000 in 2025. Eight months and about $500,000 in renovation work later, the five-bedroom house has nearly doubled in value.The sale closed at $1.93 million, just $70,000 below its latest asking price, according to the New York Post. The property had initially been listed for $2.3 million before its price was reduced.But the home's biggest selling point was not simply its size or its renovation.
