Add The New York Post on Google Donald Trump’s childhood home has officially changed hands — and the presidential pedigree appears to have paid off.
The Tudor-style Jamaica Estates house where Trump spent his earliest years has sold for $1.93 million, listing agent Joe Zhu of RE/MAX Edge confirmed exclusively to The Post.
That’s nearly $1.1 million more than the $835,000 developer Tommy Lin paid for the rundown Queens property last year — before pouring more than $500,000 into an eight-month gut renovation.
The final price also came within $70,000 of its most recent $1.99 million asking price.
The deal closes the loop on a sale The Post first reported in July, when the five-bedroom home went into contract but the agreed-upon price had not been revealed.
At the time, Zhu said the offer was “very close” to asking.
Zhu said the home’s connection to the president was a major draw for prospective buyers, with many interested in the property for more than just its bricks and mortar.
“There were quite a lot of people” interested because it was Trump’s former home, Zhu told The Post, adding that some saw additional historical value in owning the property.
The roughly 3,100-square-foot residence at 85-15 Wareham Place has come a long way from the condition Lin found it in.
When he bought the property for $835,000 in 2025, it had sat vacant for years, suffered damage from a burst pipe and mold — and had even become home to a colony of feral cats, as The Post previously reported.
Lin’s renovation brought in a chef’s kitchen, herringbone floors and spa-like bathrooms while leaving its distinctive Tudor-style exterior intact.
The five-bedroom, four-bath property initially returned to the market for $2.3 million before being taken off the market and later relisted. After another price cut, it was asking just under $2 million when it found a buyer this summer.
But no renovation can replicate the house’s biggest claim to fame.
Trump’s father, real estate developer Fred Trump, built the brick-and-stucco residence in 1940. The president lived there until he was about 4, when the family moved to a larger Jamaica Estates home nearby.
The Wareham Place property has since had a colorful real estate history of its own.
It sold for $2.14 million in 2017 — shortly after Trump entered the White House for his first term — and was later offered to tourists on Airbnb before eventually falling into disrepair.
