A 749-square-foot, two-bedroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in San Jose has been sold separately from its main property for $530,000. This transaction marks the first instance of an ADU being sold as an individual condominium in California.
Coverage from the City of San Jose, The Mercury News, ABC7 Bay Area, Yahoo, and the New York Post emphasizes the unique nature of this sale.
