Newsom sold his 4,000 sq ft home in May after it became clear he would be facing a recall election later this year.

He first listed the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home spanning 4,000 square feet in January 2019 for $5,995,000 after he took office and moved to Sacramento, according to Realtor.com.
It did not sell and quietly slipped off the market — until it sold off-market in May above its most recent asking price of $5,695,000.
Governor Newsom and his wife Jennifer purchased the home for $2.225 million in 2011 and put at least $330,000 into remodeling the house, Marin County permit application records show.
