PRICE REDUCED + OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY — A Nevada City Victorian with a story unlike any other. 🏛️
📅 Sunday, May 24 | Noon–2 p.m.
📍 405 S. Pine St., Nevada City
This stately 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was built in Houston, Texas in 1888. It appeared in a Steve McQueen film. And in the 1990s, it was physically relocated to Nevada City and thoughtfully restored by local craftsmen who preserved every intricate wood finial and the elegant original staircase — while adding a new foundation, updated electrical, plumbing, and dual-pane windows. A new roof was installed in 2026.
Set on a lush quarter-acre lot stretching from South Pine Street to Sacramento Street, the property includes a carriage house with ADU potential upstairs, mature landscaping, and an attic with potential for a stunning third floor.
Come see it Sunday — Betsy Hamilton and the team will be there to answer any questions.
💰 Now $1,149,000 — an even better price on an extraordinary home.

📊 NEVADA COUNTY REAL ESTATE UPDATE — April 2026
Spring arrived early in western Nevada County's real estate market — and April delivered.
111 homes sold last month, up 11% over April 2025 and the strongest April sales total in at least three years. The median sold price came in at $576,000 — essentially flat compared to last April's $582,000. Homes found buyers in a median of just 14 days, nearly matching last April's brisk 13-day pace.
Active inventory landed at 354 — down 24% from April 2025's post-pandemic high of 466. That's a notable pullback, and the kind of number that tends to get sellers off the fence.
This data covers western Nevada County only — Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley, and surrounding communities — not skewed by Truckee, a completely different market an hour away.
