Gavin Newsom is selling his Sacramento mansion
Key Points:
- Gavin Newsom has listed his 12,000-square-foot Sacramento mansion for $7.5 million, more than double the $3.7 million he paid in 2019, ahead of the end of his gubernatorial term and a potential presidential run.
- Newsom purchased the Fair Oaks home to avoid living in the official 150-year-old governor’s mansion, seeking a more kid-friendly environment with amenities like a resort-style pool, wine cellar, and tennis court.
- The Newsom family is transitioning to Marin County, where they bought a $9 million home in Kentfield in 2024 to provide stability for their children's education as his term ends in 2027.
- This move continues a pattern of California governors splitting time between Sacramento and other regions, following predecessors Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
